You want Israel to give land back to Egypt and Jordan?

Why?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (20 children)

No, the current idea is to create a Palestinian state using the land that Israel currently occupies.

In 1988, with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) intention to declare a Palestinian State, Jordan renounced all territorial claims to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

But I suspect you are trying (and failing) to create some "gotcha" moment. Israel doesn't have the legal right to annex Gaza, the West Bank, or East Jerusalem. They simply control it because they have more guns.

That's not a "current" idea, and is only diplomatically material. Hell it's only historically diplomatically material because Jordan and Egypt don't give a rat's ass about Palestinians after Palestinian refugees attempted coups in their countries.

My point is that the Gaza strip and West Bank were won in the Six Day War from Jordan and Egypt, so I'm not sure who OP means when they say "return land"

Palestine isn't a country, wasn't ever a country, and was only offered the possibility of becoming a country by Israel.

Don't know why you are getting down voted when that's literally what happened.

[–] SCB -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

People don't care about what's factual. They care about what confirms their priors.

Again still being down voted. Alot! These pro Palestine need to actually read what has actually happened over there and what Israel and the Jewish have been through over there I got humbled real quick watching this.its funny how they can scream kill the Jews but when the Jews say kill the Palestinians it's instantly pulled back. It's only Hamas. Well didn't jiltwr say kill and gas all Jews. We are walking right back to ww2 again it's ridiculous.
