Your examples only point out the injustice of the Israeli theft of land. What about the injustice of every Arab nation trying to "pile-on" and commit genocide against the Israelis in 1948? Or what about the injustice of Egyptian acts of war, such as blockading the Israeli port of Eilat in 1956 and 1967? I don't know where you've developed this sense that occupation of land as a result of defeating an enemy who foolishly attacked you is bad. There used to be a time when such a risk of losing your land to the victor kept rival countries in check from untoward aggression. Your view that a country should be able to attack a neighbor and suffer no geographical penalty for being defeated ONLY GUARANTEES FUTURE AGGRESSION. I would like to live next to you. I'd have a great time intimidating and harassing the hell out of you knowing that you would feel it was "unjust" to kick my @ss and make me pay a price for being a "bad neighbor".. Btw, when you look at foreign aid to Israel, have you forgotten the foreign aid we also give to Egypt? That's the "quid pro quo". The US purchased peace between the two countries at Camp David. And it costs of Billions each year between the two countries. But I dare say the money we spend in Israel has achieved better results than what has been achieved in Egypt. Hell, they've had the same government since the death of Sadat. Hawk
