"Sorry Jim do you want that list of Arab attacks on Jewish settlers and the attacks by Arabs against Israel since 1920"
I know who attacked who and I have given you the casualty comparisons.
I have also give you the maps of territory losses
I am not interested in what happened nearly a century ago when this territory was part of the loot takn by the British Empire - it was not theirs to give away.
Your suggestion that the Arabs have no right to the territory is really no different to Shaz's suggestion that Israel; should be moved to America.
The missiles fired into Israel don't even measure up to the dead massacred at sabra Shatile, never mind those who died before or since - they are a pitiful; response to attempted ethnic cleansing by a nuclear facilitated, well armed power - David sling against Goliath armed strength, to use a Biblical comparison
The ratio of Palestinian/Israeli deaths deaths of in the present decade is 8 to 1 - so much for what happened a century ago.
This is a war for territory by Israel - it is not defensive - look at the maps
AN ISRAELI JEW'S ACCOUNT OF THE CONFLICT
"Bregman describes Israel as "a heavy‑handed and brutal occupier". He regards the four decades of occupation chronicled in this book as a black mark on Israeli, and indeed, Jewish history. He finds it depressing that a people that has suffered such unspeakable tragedies of its own can behave so cruelly towards another. The only sign of hope in this otherwise bleak picture is that the occupation may carry within it the seeds of its own demise. By forcing the Palestinians to live in squalor, Bregman concludes, Israel has "hardened those under its power, making them more determined to put an end to the occupation, by violent means if necessary, and live a life of dignity and freedom"."
