Israel expanded in 1948 after a defensive war, which makes the conquest legal (same as 1967)

I agree about the west bank, I think Israel should remove the settlements.

I don't see what Muslim history in the are has to do with anything. Jews are indigenous to the area, border fights exist, and the current situation exist. Israel was founded and expanded after a few successful defensive wars - you just need to accept that as a fact.

Now we can be pragmatic and try a two state solution or we can continue arguing about history.

Palestinians can fight for what they view as justice for generations and get nowhere except more suffering, or they can decide that the west bank and Gaza are enough. It's their call. I know what I would decide
