So Israel stole land...from Israel? At worst, it's what we call "eminent domain" in this country.

That's essentially all this is.

The Jew haters are outraged.

I read the site, it seems pretty bias. With that said it doesn't seem too smart on Israel's part. The more a part of Israel the West Bank becomes the less Palestinian it become. What happens if the Arabs living there eventually decide they want to be Israeli Arabs and not Palestinians?

Well, if their family is from Palestine originally it would make sense for them to convert back to their original Religion, which is Judaism.

Israel never stole any land from Palestinians. It wasn't theirs to steal--it belonged to the British Empire when Israel was founded in 1948. If Muslims and liberals have an issue with Israel's founding, they should be blaming the British and taking it up with them instead of launching terror attacks against Jews.

Furthermore, there is archaeological evidence that Israel was a Jewish country 2000 years before Mohammed was even born. There was never a sovereign Arab Muslim country called "Palestine" there, at all.

In addition, Israel is the only liberal democracy in the MENA region--why would ever want to have another Muslim $hithole in MENA by erasing it and making it "Palestine"? I wish liberals would think about this. Israel is the only Jewish country, in a sea of many Muslim nations. Every other ethnic group and religion in the world has their own country--why can't we have our own without facing hatred?

I don't think you understand. There would be no converting. The nightmare scenario for Israel, and the reason most there support a 2 state solution is the idea of the 2.75 million Arabs in the West Bank asking for citizenship and the vote. This would present a huge national and international problem and the more the West Bank gets absorbed into Israel proper the more likely it becomes. This is a large part of why Ariel Sharon, a relative hardliner, pulled out of Gaza, by doing that he saved Israel from the possibility of having to absorb the 1.5 million Arabs who live there someday.

If native Americans started terror campaigns against the US would you have the same view? Maybe you'd give America back to meet their demands? What would happen to all of us who were born here?

Maybe you think it is 'fair' to go back through history and try to divvy out the earth equitably but it is not practical, nor equitable.
