Yes, you must rewind the clock based on the facts. The majority of Israeli land is "occupied" according to international law. That means there are rightful owners other than the Israelis. Israelis do not meet the basic real estate law criteria to own the land. You've heard of squatters rights? Well, Israel is basically claiming squatters rights. But in order to win a claim as a squatter, the original possessor of the land must not make a claim for a number of years, for example, if Israel possessed the land w/o objection by the Palestinians for a certain number of years, the land would legally be theirs. However, from day one, the Palestinians from day one and decade after decade to today, have always asserted their rightful ownership of the land. Based on that alone, ISRAEL LOSES THE LAND. And that is the law of the land in most western countries and democracies, it is the common law of the land. If Israel is a democracy it should be following it too. No way legitimately can Israel claim the lands, the only way they can claim them is by not recognizing the law. The world will not tolerate that.

I keep repeating, Israel is a country unto itself, outside the norm of law, and the world community will right the wrong that Israel has done to the Palestinian land rights. It may take a while, but it will be done. Israel should exist within the 1967 borders and the world should ensure their right to exist there.
