Can you look at this map and say Israel does not systemically appropriate land?

Zionism & Israel Center is part of a network of Web sites supporting fair play for Israel by providing basic facts and informed opinion. Zionism & Israel Center is maintained by a group of volunteers, who subscribe to the following political principles:

* The Jewish people have the right to a national home in Israel

* Israel has the right to exist

* Jewish nationalism is as legitimate as the nationalist movement of any other people.

The point is, Zionists have had this plan for a hell of a lot longer than Israel has existed.

PALESTINE OR ARGENTINE?

Shall we choose Palestine or Argentine? We shall take what is given
us, and what is selected by Jewish public opinion. The Society will
determine both these points.

Argentine is one of the most fertile countries in the world, extends
over a vast area, has a sparse population and a mild climate. The
Argentine Republic would derive considerable profit from the cession
of a portion of its territory to us. The present infiltration of Jews
has certainly produced some discontent, and it would be necessary to
enlighten the Republic on the intrinsic difference of our new
movement.

Palestine is our ever-memorable historic home. The very name of
Palestine would attract our people with a force of marvellous potency.
If His Majesty the Sultan were to give us Palestine, we could in
return undertake to regulate the whole finances of Turkey. We should
there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost
of civilization as opposed to barbarism. We should as a neutral State
remain in contact with all Europe, which would have to guarantee our
existence. The sanctuaries of Christendom would be safeguarded by
assigning to them an extra-territorial status such as is well-known to
the law of nations. We should form a guard of honor about these
sanctuaries, answering for the fulfilment of this duty with our
existence. This guard of honor would be the great symbol of the
solution of the Jewish Question after eighteen centuries of Jewish
suffering.

Many Palestineans may already be living in their state. Somehow it went to the Hashemite family? To me it sounds like the Brits were trying to do some strange horse trading with their spoils from WWI?

During World War I the Arabs joined the British against the Ottomans. In a revolt of 1916, in which they were assisted by Colonel T.E. Lawrence, the Arabs severed the Hejaz Railway. In July 1917 the army of Prince Fayṣal ibn Husayn (of the Hāshimite [or Hashemite] dynasty) captured Al-ʿAqabah, and by October 1918 Amman and Damascus were in Allied hands. In 1920 the Conference of San Remo in Italy created two mandates; one, over Palestine, was given to Great Britain, and the other, over Syria, went to France. This act effectively separated the area now occupied by Israel and Jordan from that of Syria. In November 1920 ʿAbdullāh, Fayṣal’s brother, arrived in Maʿān (then part of the Hejaz) with 2,000 armed supporters intent on gathering together tribes to attack the French, who had forced Fayṣal to relinquish his newly founded kingdom in Syria. By April 1921, however, the British had decided that ʿAbdullāh would take over as ruler of what then became known as Transjordan.

That being said, however, if I were a Palestinian or an Arab…I suspect I would be furious with what has happened and be trying with all my might to rid the area of Israel.

It will never work out. The people over there, Jew and non-Jew alike, will live their lives in chaos and hate and attack and retaliation…and their children and the children of those children…and the children of those children will also.

Unless the obvious solution is accepted.

No state there!

Not a one state or two states solution…but a no state solution.

International control of the region.

I think this (no state rather than one or two state solution) has less chances of being realized (much less working) than a two-state solution.
