Is it legally, technically their land (as opposed to simply claiming it is theirs?) I know Palestine CLAIMS it's theirs and wants it back.
(This also goes back to 2 old adages - "Don't start a war you can't win' and 'To the victor goes the spoils'.)
The borders were fixed at the end of the 6 Days War in 1967. The far right and especially the Likud party in Israel are doing the same as Russia in Crimea and Ukraine. The war hawks are in charge in Israel now and are proving their duplicity with their expansionist paradigm.
wrong again------no "borders" were fixed either before or after 1967. In 1967---CEASE FIRE lines were created-----not borders. DA ARABS DID NOT RECOGNIZE BORDERS
In that case, you should inform all the map makers to stop drawing those borders on the maps they produce!
Samaria and Judea, where Israel is trying to subsume bits and pieces at a time through unlawful confiscation, are both in the West Bank area ceded to the Palestinians' by Jordan and that BORDER between the West bank and Israel is the 1949 armistice line. Israel has
NO SOVEREIGN CLAIM to the West Bank. The West Bank was part of the former Palestine until 1949 then it was occupied by Jordan before the conclusion of the 1949 conflict and eventually ceded to the Palestinian Authority and at the close of the 6 Days War resumed its status as the BORDER as original established by the UN in 1949.
The fact that Israel never made a formal declaration of THEIR borders since gaining recognition in 1948 is being used by Israel now and in the past for their expansionism. Because Israel wants to employ the sophistry of no borders does not mean other nations and sovereign entities must accept that irrational horseshit, NOR that some on a message board should be pushing that failed and foolish proposition in this era!
