Yes, multiple times as well most likely. There does seem to be a statute of limitations however.

For everybody but Israel. Does anybody call the Chinese Tibetans or the Turkish Northern Cypriots "settlers"?

Those were both land grabs, pure and simple, no defensive wars involved, taking place in 1959 and 1974 respectively.

No my friend, the world has three sets of rules: one for dictatorships, one for democracies, and a special one just for Israel.

and thats where you, nadine and I agree. At some point its history. In my last post to Geode i tried to point out that its impossible to negotiate with folks who do not accept your right to a state. What happened in 47-47 cant be undone regardliess of who was responsible. Its settled. At some point the results of the 67 war will attain that status if the pals refuse to accept Israel. Then there will be the next war and the next de facto change which the world will not be happy with but will make the 67 war results on Jerusalem, wb and gaza settled. Pals need to get back to 67 and forget 47 or they one day in 2037 they will have to deal with what happened in 2007.

"There does seem to be a statute of limitations however."

I think that's Israel's game. To get as much land as possible and then squat until the consensus, psychological, international "statute of limitations" is reached. I hate that we enable it. Especially with the way that the illegal settlements, all connected by roads controlled by Israel, are peppered throughout the West Bank. How can the Pals make a country out of that?

Supporting Israel is not in the national interest of the United States.
