according to you Israel but for 99% of the rest of the world the Palestinian people.....but I guess you're right!


Are they a country? When was this country established? What are its borders, either now or at any point in history?

see resolution 242....

resolution 242 calls for a negotiated settlement and secure borders for all countries in the region, which is why all the Arabs (including the PLO) rejected it for more than 20 years...and they haven't accepted it yet, they keep pretending that it calls for a unilateral Israeli withdrawal without any negotiation or acceptance of Israel on the part of the Arabs, but it doesn't. If they did accept it, then we would just have a border dispute, and peace talks could work.

>to what country do the Occupied Territories properly belong>

What about the other question - to which country would the people in Occupied Territory belong? Can the land and the people belong to different countries at this point? If Israel controls their fate, shouldn't they get full Israeli citizenship and rights?
