Israel and Palestine

You are using a UN map. The palestinian claim is to old palestine. It is funny you don't include land from jordan, lebanon, and syria which would be considered Palestinian as well. Why only israel?

It has to do with where the populations of the ME exist today, there is a desert (Jordan Valley) that separates the populations centers, The Palestinians in Nablus, Hebron, Ramullah, Jerusalem, nazareth, gaza, etc. are on one side of the sparcley populated area(with israelis) jordan is on the other sde , Lebanon and Syria are separated by mountains and hills and Egypt by the sinai, Palestinians and Israeli's are living in the same region, the region that was British Mandate Palestine, Palestinians are indigenous to this region, many of them are now living in neighboring countries but many live in the WB and Gaza.. They are not citizens of Israel and they are confined to small disconnected areas, native americans are US citizens , what ever the US did to them it is far in the past and not in anyone's present lifetime

you asked this same question on another thread just a week ago:

it's a stupid question, because Syria or lebanon or jordan 'giving' land away won't solve that problem..it's like asking why don't the Jews go back to europe,usa,russia .. conflicts are not solved by 'voluntary' population expulsions.
