Oh dear!! .......are stealing the West Bank from the indigenous Arab population?

Arabs continuously protest that the land of Israel was “stolen from them”. Despite the mass territory that they currently occupy (such as Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt), they still covet the tiny land of Israel. They do so even as Israel comprises only 0.1% of the Middle East’s land mass and is surrounded by 22 Arab/Muslim nations.

In July of 1922, the League of Nations recognized “the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine,” and thus entrusted Great Britain with the Mandate for Palestine. To take a step further back, the land still would not be Arab territory, as the British seized it from Turkey, –who also do not want the land back–during the Great War in 1917. The village ,a kibbutz, where I live was swamp land the Israelis, the Kibbutzniks, drained it.

The Arabs took Palestine by military conquest, and also lost it by conquest, to the Christian Crusaders in 1099. The Arabs have no grounds to complain about the expansion of Israeli territory to the West Bank in 1967, which was an act of self defence, as it was Jordan who attacked Israel, despite Israel's desperate pleas to avoid this conflict.

Arabs are native to Arabia, not Palestine!
