Acquiring territory by force is illegal.Exactly why Israel needs to start annexing. No matter what Israel does -- Arabs will always see the territory as exclusively theirs with no legitimacy for Israel. It doesn't matter whether Israel is one square mile, a hundred or a ten thousand. So there is absolutely NO point in Israel continuing to pretend that there is a peace partner or that "land for peace" is a solution to the conflict.
There can never be a solution to the conflict because of the Arab attitude toward Israel (read: Jews). So Israel just needs to do what she needs to do to get on with getting on. And that means annexing whatever she needs to protect her citizens and her State.
Annexing occupied territory is illegal.
Acquiring territory by force is illegal.
Sounds serious!
Who did Israel acquire territory from? Any specifics?
Israel acquired territory from Jordan who assisted Arab Countries in initiating the 67 War
More specifically, Jordan bombarded Jerusalem during the 1967 War, after Israel warned her to stay out of it.
That is a lie.
At the beginning of the 67 war, Jordan was in possession of all of Jerusalem.
Jordan did not bombard its own possession.
It was Israel that attacked Jerusalem and illegal captured it from Jordan.
Wrong. Jordan was in possession of East Jerusalem, which included the walled Old City. Israel was in possession of the newer West Jerusalem. Like Berlin, Jerusalem was divided. The Jordanians bombarded West Jerusalem, which included hospitals. Israel warned Jordan not to join forces with Nasser of Egypt, but Jordan kept pounding away at West Jerusalem. Israel then had no choice but to open a second front. It was Gd's Hidden Hand at work, so that Jerusalem could be reunited. Many Jewish soldiers lost their lives in hand-to-hand combat, in Jerusalem's narrow alleyways, so that the Holy Places (of all faiths) would not be damaged. And then came the great announcement by Chief Rabbi Goren, "The Temple Mount is in our hands," and a ram's horn (shofar) was blown. What a miracle!
