Hello George,

>LL>Jordan has made its peace with Israel.  So has Egypt.  If Israel does
>LL>what it should have done long ago, by pulling out of the West Bank and
>LL>returning the Golan Heights to its proper owner Syria, then both Syria
>LL>and Lebanon will also make their peace with Israel.

GP>What "proper owner" -- it's a long-standing standard that
when one nation
GP>attacks another and the attacked nation successfully defends itself, it
GP>rightfully owns any real estate ("strategic buffer zone")
gained in the
GP>process.

To the victor go the spoils?  Does that mean we have to return Poland
to Nazi Germany?  What about France?  And Austria?  And all them other
countries that Hiter's Germany invaded?

What happens if the Arabs invade Israel?  Would that mean that the
world must recognize the Arabs as being the legitimate owners of the
land that once belonged to Jews, which previously had belonged to the
Arabs, and others?

The fact of the matter is Palestine belongs to Palestinians.  That
means Palestinians of all faiths - Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

Iraq invaded Kuwait, and the world refused to accept Iraq's invasion of
Kuwait as being legitimate.  And yet the Jews expect the world to accept
the Jewish invasion of the Golan Heights and the West Bank as being
legitimate?  Even the United States government refers to the Gaza Strip,
West Bank, and Golan Heights as being "occupied territories."  Of
course, Israel did recently take a positive step by pulling out of Gaza.
And if Israel does what it should, by withdrawing from the West Bank and
Golan Heights, along with accepting Jerusalem as being a shared city
between Jews, Muslims, and Christians, then there will be peace.
