The palestinians declined statehood (and do so now).Quote from RCG Trader:
This is what I have also after a very short time on the topic. If this is true, we are in a sink hole.
If we did, in fact, take that land from those people, they will never stop firing rockets, and we will never stop having to defend that.
This is bad.

Oh my. I am reading that Truman was the first to recognize Israel. So, the United States of America actually created the state of Israel.
This explains a lot.

The palestinians declined statehood (and do so now).
They decided to start a war in 48 and lost boo hoo hoo.
They started another war in 67 lost again, boo hoo hoo.
Now the stupid fvckers think they deserve the land they lost in 2 wars and the elimination of Israel.
That's like mexico losing the mexican american war and demanding we surrender all of california , new mexico ,texas, arizona and declare their aim to push their border all the way north to canada from washington to maine, completely wiping out the united states.
Does that sound rational to you?
Quote from pspr:
Question: "What is the land that God promised to Israel?"
Answer: In regards to the land that God has promised Israel, Genesis 15:18 declares, "To your descendants [Abraham's] I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates." God later confirms this promise to Abraham's son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob (whose name was later changed to Israel). When the Israelites were about to invade the Promised Land, God reiterated the land promise, as recorded in Joshua 1:4, "Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates â all the Hittite country â to the Great Sea on the west."
With Genesis 15:18 and Joshua 1:4 in mind, the land God gave to Israel included everything from the Nile river in Egypt to Lebanon (North to South) and everything from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River (West to East). So, what land has God stated belongs to Israel? All of the land modern Israel currently possesses, plus all of the land of the Palestinians (the West Bank and Gaza), plus some of Egypt and Syria, plus all of Jordan, plus some of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Israel currently possesses only a fraction of the land God has promised.

Pretty much, superior firepower took their land from them, and they cannot accept it. My question is, does anyone really expect that they will?
And if so, why should they?
