A "magic number" is one that refers to the direct cause of an "existing issue" - that in this case would be the Palestinian-Arab/Israel issue and the Israel-Arab/Muslim issue.
It started in 1917 (Balfour deceleration) and became a war in 1948 - no one at least not me, gives a shit about what happened in 290 BCE. or in 1722 CE. in that area.
E.g. the "magic number" to the present Ukraine-Russia war, would be 1990 and NATO's Eastward-expansion - what happened in 1920 is irrelevant - so is the Kievan Rus episode of 900 CE.
What is the magic number of years after taking a disputed territory in which the losing side should no longer attack the winning side, was the question.
Off course it was "theft" so was e.g. the "acquisition of Hawaii". However the world has moved on since then and there has never been a forming of a terrorist/freedom fighter organization in Mexico, that would terrorize the USA, the world and demand a return of e.g. Texas.
Therefore your example simply doesn't stick.
I suppose you've never heard of the Mexican-American war, in which Mexico attacked U.S. forces claiming they had no right to annex Texas, which they claimed was still Mexican land. Therefore, my example is spot on. Your alter ego won't answer the question, so I assume you will not either.
There has NEVER been a Palestinian-Arab state. Due to known reasons. Therefore where the heck would they supposed to have set up an industry? They set up small businesses in e.g. the West-bank - and those businesses and livelihoods are destroyed on a regular basis by Israel via constantly claiming land. (Settlement policy) Just as if the USA would claim additional Mexican lands - therefore disrespecting the existing borders and Mexico's UN designated territory, and Mexico couldn't do anything about it - since they are a midget in regards to the military capabilities of the USA. Now you got a fitting example.
Absurd.
This is Gaza City:
If the had time and money to build all that metropolitan area, they had time to build factories. They had time to develop a tourist industry, teach their children to be customer service reps and technical support, ask their oil rich fellow Muslims to endow medical schools, engineering schools, develop farmland from the desert as the Jews did.
Instead, they nurse their grudges and conduct cowardly sneak attacks. They teach their children to hate so that the cycle may never be broken. Israelis respond to Hamas attacks and when they do, Palestinians suffer. Yet Palestinians still dance in the streets when Hamas attacks Israel.
The Jews would have loved for the Palestinians to be trading partners, and military allies, instead of terrorists.
They haven't been given any chances - they have been herded into economic unsustainable territories/enclaves - and are being robbed even of those territories since 1948. Jordan retracted it's claim towards the West-bank in 1988 - has Israel allowed for the creation of a Palestinian-Arab sovereign state? NO NEVER. Simply because by 1988 Israeli settlers had already occupied West-bank territory. The Palestinians aka the PLO demands the rightful restoration of Palestinian acquitted land as in the UN proposal of 1947. And Israel logically is and will NEVER acquit towards that demand. Therefore NO PEACE.
Have the Palestians so much as recognized Israel's right to exist? Nope. Their children's textbooks have no Israel on the maps.
If they had proven themselves able to be peaceful and to accept the right of Israel to exist, they could be a free, industrious and self-governing people this day. They've made their choice, and it is more their choice than the actions of Santa Anna were the choice of the Mexican people.
Yes - even until today the USA and especially it's military, reserves "special rights" towards a sovereign Germany. If another Hitler or Hitler like fellow would arise in Germany - you could place a sure bet - that these "special rights" would be addressed. So what's your point?
It would be addressed by getting rid of that Hitler-like fellow. Well, maybe not with Biden in office . . .
The US government couldn't and never gave a shit about Germany's racial policy (aka Jews or Slavic Untermenschen) - they even attended the Olympic games in 1936 (a fantastic international boost for the Nazis) and US companies produced military equipment for Nazi-Germany till 1941. The USA also didn't give a shit about Imperial Japans racial policy and it's occupation of Korea and China.
Don't play US Samaritan with me.
The USA went into war because it was attacked by Imperial Japan, and Nazi-Germany as well as Fascist Italy had declared war onto the USA. If Hitler would have had the A-bomb, he would have DEFINITELY used it - especially towards the USA. And the USA was very well aware about this "scenario". As such it was simply about us (USA) ruling the world or them (Nazi-Germany) ruling the world, and nothing else.

Roosevelt was eager to take us to war on behalf of "Uncle Joe." The Japanese attack us and he immediately prioritized saving the Gaylords of Europe over protecting the U.S. from the country that attacked us.
