FWIW, the parts of Poland taken by Germany are still part of Germany. Also The parts taken by Russia when they were allied to Germany have still not been returned to Poland. Those lands are now Ukraine and Belarus. And FYI 3 Million of the Jews that died during WW2 came from that land.

A typical obamabot. Buh bye.
I guess you don't know then, just another uninformed Bush-bot.

Ah, a little history lesson. The Soviet Union (not "Russia") was not allied with Germany during WW2. They were allied with us (US/Great Briton, the rest of the "allied forces"). To say that parts of Poland taken by the allies was not given up after the war reinforces my point. And ALL of Poland was taken by Germany...are you trying to say that there is no Poland any more?

The Jewish people were chosen by God to be a priestly people, set apart to worship the one true God, as stated in the following verses:

Deuteronomy 1:8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
8 'See, I have placed the land before you; go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to them and their descendants after them.’

Deuteronomy 7:6
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
6 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Deuteronomy 6:10-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
10 “Then it shall come about when the Lord your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you, great and splendid cities which you did not build, 11 and houses full of all good things which you did not fill, and hewn cisterns which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant, and you eat and are satisfied,

Well, God might not exist, so yeah.

I think PA President wants peace but you will never ever get it as long as Likud is running Israel. You never would get it with Arafat in Palestine either. But if you got somebody like the current Palestine President and a leader like Shimon Perez in Israel, peace would be possible.

If it is 'illegal' to do so, why does America continue to send billions a year in 'welfare' checks to Israel?

"Israel has announced plans to build 1,500 new settlement homes in East Jerusalem, the part of the city occupied by Israel in 1967 but claimed by Palestinians, just hours after it freed 26 Palestinian prisoners as part of a deal to restart peace talks.

Settlements built on territories occupied by Israel in the war of June 1967, including East Jerusalem, are deemed illegal by the United Nations, and Obama Administration Middle East adviser Philip Gordon reiterated on Tuesday that "the United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement expansion."

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon praised Israel's release of the prisoners, but said in a statement that settlement activity was "contrary to international law and constitutes an obstacle to peace."

An estimated 500,000 Israelis currently live in settlements in the occupied territories that are also home to 2.5 million Palestinians."

The Soviet Union (not "Russia") = semantics

Actually you need the history lesson.

I'm open for a theory. Let's hear yours on how exactly it would work.

But here is a link to chew on:
