I really do not care about European and American borders that were set after wars long gone. The only thing I am objecting to is that some people here seem to think it is okay for Israel to expand its borders by military conquest because it did not like the borders it was given when the State of Israel was founded. First the international community decides to give the Jews the country they have longed for all those centuries, and then Israel goes expansionist because it believed it had not be given enough. So much for gratitude... :-( Suppose we would finally give the Palestinians their own country. Palestine then promptly attacks its neighbours (including Israel) because it does not like the borders it has been given. Would that be accepted? Personally, I think the US would be bombing Palestine within a month.
