Israel encroached on territory after aggression from others. Whether this was right is debatable, but I am struggling to see why it’s so horrible and beyond the pale compared to other nations that have done similar (including in Europe after both world wars. There is less bellyaching from Poland about losing a lot to what is now Ukraine. Same with Finland towards Karelia as part of Russia. Any arguments over this are far less heated). Given the hostility towards Israel and Jews from some, is it to be blamed to want to defend itself? The position of resistance has brought nothing but misery. Surely there’s another way for Palestinians to go about this, because Israel does not and should not go away.
