Middle East Conflict

Seems Israel have just decided to do what they want now, knowing that nothing will be done about it.

In 1800 Jews made up 3% of the population of Palestine.
In 1890 8%
At the outbreak of WWI, 14%
By 1932 17%
And just before the creation of the state of Israel in 1947 the Jews made up 32% of the population.

So as can be seen there has been a steady influx of Jews to the area but at no time did they make up anything like the majority of the people living in Palestine.

Who's land is it?

At no time?

I think when they built a temple (or two if you think Solomon built one) they might have been a majority.

Actually, Jordan ruled that piece of land between 1948 and 1967.
The question is: did the Palestinians demand for a statehood during this period?

Israel conquered the West Bank during the 1967 war. Under international law, that land becomes a part of Israel. Just like Nagorno Karabach or Crimea.

Your knowledge of international law seems a bit outdated. So France, Belgium, Holland, Poland, Czechoslovakia became part of Germany in WW2....

Those countries you mentioned were actually governed by Germany after their defeat. during WW2.
There's footage of Hitler visiting Paris. So not sure what point you're trying to make.

If you blame Israel for the Lebanon war, then you're part of the problem.
There was no dispute between Lebanon and Israel until Hezbollah started firing rockets at Israel on October 8 in solidarity with Hamas.
What do you want Israel to do?

Yes. But that was the same time that England has no Anglo Saxons, or Norman's.

I think if Scotland was being attacked by Norway say, the English might get involved.

More of a you problem as far as I can see. Who has a record of invading and occupying with a list of documented massacres against who here?

Yep there was absolutely no border tensions before the day present history started.

What do you want Israel to do?

Stop being a psychopathic rogue state that routinely terrorises people while at the same time claiming ultimate victim status?

Hezbollah have every right to help out the Palestinians
