Israel is taking over land by occupying it, and then hold on to the land by armed force, much like early USA settlers and pioneers took over open range land owned by Native Americans. The land taken away from what was left of Native Americans after the end of the Indian wars, was replace by land reserved specifically for the Native Americans, (eg Reservations), upon which the Indians were settled and confined. What happened to the American Indian doesn't seem fair or legal, but in a way it was progress, and the Native American, at least what was left of them after the Indian wars, were able to maintain their ways, language, laws, traditions and customs in land specifically reserved deeded to them; their own country apart from the USA. As long as Israel isn't taking my land away form me, I'm not terrible upset. The founding of Israel as a state back in 1948 by a vote of the United Nations, and the subsequent expansion of Israel into her neighboring countries is a very complex and emotionally charged issue to which no solution seems to be forthcoming. I hope the people under threat of losing their land or country to Israel have a better outcome than what was done to the Native American.
