In 1948, Israel declare itself a nation under some really screwy boundries drawn up by the UN.....the Arabs attacked and lost.
1967.....the Arabs try again and lose, Sinai, Gaza, Golan.
1972 Yom Kippur....the Arabs, Egypt specifically, attack along the Suez Canal while Syria attacks from the East. It is a 'near run thing', but Israel prevails.....again.
That's the short version. Seems to me, conquered territory belongs to the victor to use as they will.
The socialist state of Germany invaded Poland and France, and conservatives went to war. The socialist state of Iraq invaded Kuwait, and conservatives went to war. The socialist state of Israel invades Arab land, and conservatives support it. I don't get it. If Israel wants to expand horizontally they should purchase title to the land like America did with the Louisiana and Alaska Purchases. With technology though it's much cheaper now to expand vertically by building taller buildings. All this fighting over small patches of conquered Arab land is pretty stupid.
