You are ignoring the following facts:

1) Israel was created by immigration and land acquisition.

2) There are very vocal groups (yes minority perhaps) within Israel that advocate taking more land.

3) When Israel took more land, these groups succeeded in advancing Jewish outpost settlements, with the well stated goal of using civilian settlements as a tool to insure the land remained Jewish.


Did you notice the Israeli Army removing settlers and settlements as they tried unsuccessfully to hand back land to Palestine. Those settlers belonged to the vocal groups. having taken the land, it was impossible to protect it empty, and until the peace treaties were signed something had to be done with it. On jerusalem, you notice that while Muslims did not allow Jews to worship, Jews allow Muslims to worship. Handing Jerusalem back to the Muslims, and losing access to Jewish religious sites is not on.
