It's a strange thing, my friend, that when another poster links to an opinion site to make a claim that the West Bank doesn't belong to the Palestinians but can't come up with anything more with more substance: all in the name of colonialism and the justification of land theft. It's even funnier when another poster clumsily swings in to save the day and cluck their tongue over wikipedia.
What's even stranger (not really strange...it's just effin sad) is how some posters try and justify this as international law or UN approved, when they scoff at any international laws or UN sanctions the don't agree with.
If anyone cares to show a UN approved measure for Israeli takeover of the West Bank and Gaza as if it belongs to Israel then I an happy to read it for them. If they want to link to third rate sites then not so much.

This has something to do with the general savagery of people in those days, not with Jews.
