    Actually, Israel legally own the Palestinian land. Israel and Palestine were separate until Jordan annex'd Palestine, and in the Israeli-Jordan war, Israel legally took those Palestinian territories from Jordan. So if you want some one to blame, blame Jordan and the Palestinians who handed over their sovereignty. Even then, before that, the area was controlled by the Ottoman Empire, then later in the British Mandate of Palestine. There hasn't been a Palestinian 'nation' there. Also, the "Israeli's" / "Jews" were always there as well oppressed under various rulers and controllers of the territory, but just expanded greatly in number after the creation of Israel. Also there is the fact the Jewish populace were the natives of that area anyway...

    Also, trust me, Palestinians are not starving, they were trying to sell me bottles of Coca-cola and I visited a Jewelry shop which also has an office in New York, where everything was expensive heading into the thousands of dollars range. From high value diamonds, gold, deep sea salts, etc. Far from the perceived universal poverty you are sowing, they even have a Mc Donalds.

    The only serious area is the Gaza strip where Muslim funded terrorists operate (ie: Hamas). There are no "concentration camps", and "kill you for attempting to bring food to the starving or medicine to the sick or building supplies to the homeless" is utter nonsense. I have been there and seen it for myself. I am not impressed by some of the ways Israel has handled things, but that shouldn't be a barrier to solving the issues in the area.

    So the invaded should assume the identity of the invader to facilitate the invasion process?
    I don't care for national borders, so fighting for some national identity is pointless and this talk is just rhetoric, I don't see you saying about Post-war Germany and Japan not facilitating to the Western allies after the second world war. I mean, look at Germany and Japan now, they are both great places. So yeah, Israel would be a great place too without the nutjobs.
