Israel has maintained one of the longest occupations in modern history controlling the fate of over 2 million palestinians - Israel is the only nuclear country in the area with no open access to their inventory and no signatures on any non-proliferation agreements - Israel maintains one of the largest concentration camp style prison in the world known as Gaza. And yes, that's exactly what it is if you look at the living conditions of people there. - Israel maintains an apartheid style system in the West Bank with separate roads and services for different groups. - Israel continues to deny the right of return to over 2 million refugees spread all over the world for more than 50 years... can you imagine living in shanty towns and tents for over 50 years?? - Israel maintains a racial based system of government based on the failed ideology of Zionism. An ideology that at heart is based on racist nationalism granting rights to one "ethnic" (or is it religious?) group only - While Israel claims to be living in the constant fear of terrorism, the death ratio of Palestinians vs. Israeli is roughly 13 to 1. Yet, somehow, they are the victims, and our media pushes that notion on us (and we wonder why the world hates us). - Israel has TWICE invaded its northern neighbor, Lebanon and continues daily violations of its air space. Complaints to the UN are constantly blocked by, guess who?, the USA.
How can you occupy something that the UN established in 1947 (or so)? They were granted that land under treaty. Deal with it. It is only a border.
