Israel did occupy land they took from the inhabitants, whatever you wish to call them.
I vividly recall sitting in a bar in Heidelberg and seeing 2 men that had once been friends get into a terrible fight. They were regulars there. One was Jewish, one was Arab. The Jew started teasing the Arab about how Israel had kicked ass. The discussion escalated until the Jewish fellow said: "We took your home and there is nothing you can do about it."
That is when the fist began to fly. Only a very small reaction to what was soon to become a major problem in the world.

Israel was 100% right in it's 1967 actions. But they went beyond that, pushing to the point where I don't think there can ever be a peaceful settlement. I do know that blaming just one side over the other will never bring peace.

How far did that so called "inhabitants" space extend? Did the nations which also occupy the inhabitant's space concede that space or is Israel the only ones who should do so (which they have by the way)?

LT Charles Baird - I believe they were right when they were defending their right to exist. I don't believe they were when they expanded beyond their original boundaries.

A1C Mike Allen - An mix of pagans, Jews , Zoroastrian's and others, but they did not leave they were converted. Islam moved in the culture, not Muslims phsycially moving The same folks have been living in the area for thousands of years, the religions just change. The Palestinians are as much biological descendants of Abraham tribe as Jews are more so than many Jews after the many generations in Europe following the diaspora

Well, at least they put "historical fact" and "Palestinian Territories" in quotation marks. One isn't a fact and the other never existed.

SFC (Join to see) - The folks who had been living there for a couple thousand years had no say when a bunch of thieves who stole it gave it to someone else? The Brits had no authority to give other peoples land away Since the Brits hand no legit claim there other than a willingness to murder anyone who objected

It never existed. It couldn’t be stolen. Palestine was the name of a region. Like New England or the northern hemisphere. Not a state. Not a nation. 1stSgt Nelson Kerr
