This argument of illegaly taking the land is something I'm not sure I can buy into. I know that will piss a lot of people off, but when you lose something in a war you've pretty much lost it. If you don't win the war you can't really say anything. I'm not saying that is fair. I'm saying it is what it is. There are a lot of countries that would invade and take other peoples land if they could, but since they can't they don't. Saddam is a great example. Hitler is an example of someoen using history as a reason to invade and take land. Both men tried to say well history says its our land so we're gonna take it back.
It just doesn't work that way. If you don't have the military power to defend it you may lose it. If you want it back and are willing to fight for it you're going to need the military and the allies to get it.
Again, I'm not saying that is what's fair. This isn't an argument for fair and certainly isn't an argument supporting Israel. I don't think the Koran or the Bible either have a line that says "life is fair". Plenty of references to how things will be set fair, but no line that reads everything in life is fair. I guess that's where faith comes in.
