Should we return all the lands won/taken from the natives?

Should all countries return lands won/taken in past conflicts?

Why just the Israelis?

Unfortunately, the fundies control the Palesinian Authority and every terrorist organization in the region. To them,fair borders = no Israel.

The current dis-unity within the U.N. security counsel makes peace in the Israel/Palestine region even more unlikely. With the lack of backbone exhibited by the French, Germans and Russian, do you think Israel will ever trust their security to an international body? Hell no.

"Many of the Arabs (not including Moslem fundies of course) are willing to accept Israel within its 1967 borders. The problem is over the lands Israel conquered in 1967."

Then just what was the problem when those "peaceful" arab neighbors attacked Israel in 1948, 1956, and 1967????????

If Israel returned all of the "conquered" lands to the palestinians, it would be only a short time before the arabs again resumed their attack on the Jewish state. It has nothing to do with the conquered lands (acquired, by the way when the arabs attacked Israel), it has everything to do with the arab goal of the elimination of Israel.

I think you have blinders on.
