If it means that Israel occupies land unlawfully... Israel has been attacked on a very grand scale by Arab armies several times since it's inception. Each time they justifiably defended their country. In the process of this defense, specifically in the major battles that were waged during the 50s, 60s and 70s, they drove the opposing armies farther away from the original borders of Israel. Is Israel occupying foreign soil? Yes, absolutely. Did Israel unlawfully occupy this land or did Israel end up on this land while they were in the process of driving away aggressor armies? This is an important distinction, even if some people don't believe this is the case! Should the occupation end? In my opinion of course it should!! I can understand why they have disregarded UN resolution 242 when I look at it from Israel's position. I can understand why they are very reluctant to abide by this referendum when viewed in the light of the numerous attacks released on their nation by their neighbors. Can you understand why many in Israel view each subsequent terrorist bombing as a continuation of this conflict? A conflict that, in essence, has been going on for 55 years? The Olso accords are a very different matter. Since Israel was part of the bargaining process, there comes additional responsibility to adhere to their side of the agreement. I would say even in the light of the constant terror attacks and bombings Israel should implement their side of the Oslo agreements! That's just the way I see it. If Israel were to implement their side of the agreement even while under constant attack, they stand a better chance of seeing this horrible period end. I believe such actions would exponentially add to the possibility of a lasting peace. The steps which need to be taken are very difficult and getting more difficult every day. Yet, by not taking these steps, I believe Israel is doing itself an injustice.
