They've taken action to defend themselves for crying out loud.

Your positions seems a lot like "Blame Israel!" regardless of the facts. Five Arab nations amass troops at Israel's border for an invasion, Israel does a preemptive strike destroying those armies...blame Israel!

I'll ask again, why don't the Palestinians get to defend the land that was taken from them to begin with? - Guy Oct 15, 11:20 1
- The Jews have just as valid a historical claim to the land as anyone else. - Mel Profit Oct 15, 11:23
I'll side with Israel on a lot of stuff, but taking land not part of the original deal is a major a-hole move and instigates most of the future. - Max Oct 15, 11:18 9
- what was being done from that land against them? -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 15, 11:21 3
  - That to me justifies combat. It doesn't justify colonization. That's like taking part of Japan in 1946 as a 51st state. -- nm - Max Oct 15, 11:25 2
    - (or 49th or 1960. stupid noncontiguous states) -- nm - Max Oct 15, 11:30

- They didn't take it to assholes, they took it because it gave them instead of their enemies a military advantage. - TWuG Oct 15, 11:20 4
  - So the Syrians couldn't fire rockets *from* the heights. - Mel Profit Oct 15, 11:22 2
    - This is a separate issue from building settlements in Jerusalem though -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 11:25
    - Ding. -- nm - TWuG Oct 15, 11:24
