Part One

First off let's get one thing straight this is not a fight between tiny Palestine and it's Oppressor Israel, this is a fight between Arabs(who are anything but a minority in the area) and the Jews.
The British Mandate Palestine was split up to become homelands for the two people. Seventy-eight percent was given to the Arabs of the area to become the country of Jordan.
Twenty-two percent was given to the Jews but the Arabs protested they wanted more!

So Israel agreed and offered up another five percent the area you may call the West Bank(I call it Judea and Samaria). This was in 1948, that's right the vaunted two state solution was freely offered by Israel in 19f*cking48. That wasn't enough for the Arabs and their supremacist doctrine of not ceding Islamic land to non-muslims, so they declared a war of extirmination against Israel

Each side blames the other for the consequences of the war, including some who point to the war as proof of Zionist aggression. But even Benny Morris, the historian who argued that the Palestinian refugee problem was caused in part by Israeli military actions points out that the [refugee] problem was a direct consequence of the war that the Palestinians and, in their wake, the surrounding Arab states had launched. From the beginning, it was Arab intolerance of the Jewish presence that caused the widespread opposition to Israel, an intolerance that resulted in the war of 1948. Jews, of course, had not chosen arbitrarily to immigrate to this area of the world. Moreover, they did so legally and with positive effects. As evidenced by the massive growth in population, the improvement of agriculture, and increased wages, the claim against Jewish return to Palestine was not pragmatic but ideological. The idea of a Jewish State as such was, from the beginning, anathema to the Arabs living there, and they sought to discredit and defeat it by any means possible. It is in this context that the birth of the Arab-Israeli conflict must be considered.

I spent the mid-1980s investigating what led to the creation of the refugee problem, publishing The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947-1949 in 1988. My conclusion, which angered many Israelis and undermined Zionist historiography, was that most of the refugees were a product of Zionist military action and, in smaller measure, of Israeli expulsion orders and Arab local leaders' urgings or orders to move out. Critics of Israel subsequently latched on to those findings that highlighted Israeli responsibility while ignoring the fact that the problem was a direct consequence of the war that the Palestinians - and, in their wake, the surrounding Arab states - had launched.

While losing the war Jordan occupied the West bank and Egypt occupied Gaza all Jews were driven out. Which is why I call settlers resettlers.
So in short %78 percent of British Mandate Palestine was already given to the Arabs and people like you think the only just thing to do is to carve another %25 out of the middle of Israel, hand it over to despicable terrorists who have kept their own people as refugees for three generations. Not only is this inviting the Wolf among the sheep it also would render Israel indefensible.

According to the International Red Cross and UNRWA statistics, there were roughly 40,000 Jews expelled from Judea/Samaria (west bank) and Gaza in 1948. This of course does not include the 67 Jewish men, women and children who were savagely murdered in Hebron on August 24 1929 or the hundreds of Jews who fled the city in the wake of the massacre. There were also 4000 Jews evicted from their homes in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem which was then renamed “Arab east Jerusalem”. Additionally, there were between 650,000 and one million Jews who were forced to flee from Arab countries in the middle east and north Africa as a result of Arab intolerance of the Jewish victory in 1948. Most of them started new lives in the brand new state of Israel, becoming the bulk of the Jewish population there and are referred to as “Mizrahi” Jews.

It should be mentioned that “Palestinians” did not start calling themselves that until 1964–1967. Former PLO terrorist [self-proclaimed]Walid Shoebat has been quoted as saying “Why is it that on June 4th 1967 I was a Jordanian and overnight I became a Palestinian?”

This is a map that was that was prepared for the US Joint Chiefs of Staff. It shows the minimum territory need for Israel to defend itself. If you follow the link you will find the complete assesment.

Why does this little country draw so much ire? Why when I claimed that the Jews laid the foundation for European civilization and Scotsmen creating the modern world no one questioned my proud boast of Scottish accomplishments, yet several people were quick to decry my assertion that European civilization was built with the help, knowledge, ideology and elbow grease of the native European Jews.

While I appreciate that everyone understands the infallibility of the Scottish and what a great people they are the instant denial any positive contribution of the Jews and many accusations of their sinister influence were disheartening.
Do I claim snow-white purity for Israel and Jews in general? No I don't but neither do I think that they are worse than any other ethnic group and the "crimes" of Israel pale in comparison to most countries in the world.
Let alone countries embroiled in a situation where your worst enemy has been granted territory right in the middle of your country, by your supposed Ally. A situation where all the countries on your borders are either current or past belligerents
