Was this land taken in the 6 day war? If so then if they have to return it then the USA should return Arizona, colorado and all the other land we took from Mexico in the Mexico/American war. Fair is fair.

Here's my solution:
The UN steps in. The international community agreed to create the nation of Israel in the first place, so have the UN step in and basically say:
"OK boys and girls listen up! Since NONE of you can get along, NO ONE gets to have a country anymore. This entire geographical area is now under UN control, and belongs to ALL the people of planet Earth. The UN will police and establish a representative government that any ethnicity is allowed to participate in. The UN will also fund this area and place it's headquarters in Jerusalem instead of New York."
There you go, turn Israel into a neutral, UN controlled country that NO ONE "owns".
Sheesh.

Everyone should read this thread.
Then go read the inscriptions on the Georgia Guidestones.
Guidestones sound better than what is going on worldwide.

OK, raise your hands: who thinks the pan-Arab alliance would have given Israel 'back' if history were changed and they HADN'T got the dog-snot beat out of them in the 6-day war? Their whole and stated objective was to eradicate the state of Israel and take it for themselves. Funny how that never gets mentioned.
When you are the aggressor in a war...and you lose...you don't get complainin' rights. You lose what you risked. Sour grapes. They gave the Sinai back, and look at what a beacon of prosperity that's become. They should have kept it too. This is the grown-up equivalent of a young upstart creaming the gang of bullies who had teamed up on him and taking THEIR lunch money instead of vice-versa. Not saying it's pretty, but it's how the world works. Could have just as easily went the other way. All this amounts to is the former countries of the pan-Arab alliance whining to a governmental body to try and get them to undo their own previous mistakes. To undo with the pen what their use of swords earned them, so to speak.
The debate over 'international law' is pointless. That concept flies right up until one party realizes they can give the rest the finger without an unacceptable recourse. Unless somebody is willing to get MAD over this, it's simply not going to happen. Nobody wants none of Sampson.
IMO, the Pallys need to quit instigating and start making their country into something while anybody still cares. If you can't successfully manage a territory the size of a smallish county with millions in outside aid pouring in, there are bigger issues at hand that need addressed.
