What "expanding" are you talking about exactly?

The folks recently pulled out of Gaza are being built apartments at government expense in the West Bank. The settler population in the West Bank has been going up every year since 1967. Ground is still being broken on new settlements.

The Oslo 90% was far less than meets the eye. It did not include the roads.

Sure, the radicals will not accept Israel. But why is that a reason to CONTINUE seizing land?

And you are not fuly resigned to the existence of Israel? You believe that the State of Israel could be undone?

I doubt it can be undone, and it certainly should not be undone violently. But people who believe in freedom should not resign themselves to the existence of a state based on ethnic supremacism. It is an apartheid regime. Not even South Africa had white-only roads.

You do realize that when Palestine was partitioned that the Arabs got 90% of the land since Jordan makes up the majority of what Palestine was right? You do also realize that the Jews were there 2000 years before the Arabs were right? I'm sure you also understand that there is no such thing as a "Palestinian" since there's never been a country called Palestine and that they are Arabs most likely from the south of Syria. According to Syria, the "Palestinians" are Syrians.

So, the Jews are left with 10% of Palestine, the Arabs have 90% of Palestine and now we're supposed to be concerned that there are some settlements here and there that maybe aren't supposed to be there, even though that's debatable since the international law is not clear. Give me a break.

Who cares if the Gaza settlers got apartments? They were forced to leave their homes in Gaza so that Gaza could be turned into a giant staging ground for anti-Israeli terrorist attacks. Talk about adding insult to injury. You are forced to leave your home, and then the people who it was given to then use it to launch rockets into Israel to try and kill you.

As long as the Arabs keep blowing up pizzerias, buses, cafes etc. and murdering women and children, they'll be fenced off so that they can do the minimum amount of damage. Their fate is completely in their own hands. When an Arab leader finally stands up and says enough is enough, this must stop, an Arab leader who fights to stop the radicalization of his people in the schools, and in the mosques and in the official PA media, then the violence can stop, and the lives of the Arabs will be dramatically improved.

The PA used to have one of the fastest growing economies in the world, back before the first and second Intifada. They screwed themselves, and there's nothing for the rest of the world to feel sorry for. They did it all to themselves.
