Israel rightfully gained a bunch of territory inthe late 1960’s after being ruthlessly attacked by several other countries at ONCE!

Israel ALREADY gave a MAJORITY of that RIGHTFULLY GAINED territory BACK!

They are not unlawfully OCCUPYING ANYTHING! The Arabs lost that land and ANY right to it the second they all decided to gang up on Israel in the 7 days war.

“...7 days war...”

After the 1948 war the Arabs refused to allow an independent Pali state. Egypt took Gaza and Jordon the West Bank. After both attacked Israel in 1973, Israel took Gaza, the West Bank and Sinai. Sinai went back to Egypt in the peace treaty, in which it gave up any claim to Gaza. Jordan gave up its claim to the West Bank. Israel isn't "occupying" anyone's land.

In 2000, Israel offered Arafart an independent Pali state, which he rejected in favor of war.

Also, Israel unilaterally withdraw from Gaza, ending any "occupation." In return, Hamas made war on Israel with rockets, tunnels, sneak attacks and kidnappings. No rational person would expect them to try the same thing with the West Bank.
