Gaza...eh?...the entire issue is way too convoluted. In general, most countries that ‘win’ land in a ‘war’ keep it. Otherwise, I think the US would have to ‘return’ most of the US…etc. The resulting occupation of said ‘won’ land is fraught with issues. Always has been, always will. On a personal level, I love Tibet. OK, this is very shallow, but….I don’t have the stomach for a deep discussion nor the memory/wisdom/knowledge for a longer analysis.
