    all land conquered from Germany and Japan, was annexed by the winning country.

    by your logic, Israel should annex the West Bank. I agree.

    Jews are an ethnic group. Christians are not.

    true, but Israel is also a quasi-theocracy. Just like Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

    What part of Israel's government is theocratic?

    there is no civil marriage in Israel.

    schools are segregated by religion.

    discrimination is allowed in communities with thousands of residents.

    immigration by Jews received special benefits that non-Jews don't get.

    Israel has de-facto housing and settlement laws that favor Jews over non-Jews.

    Judaism is a religion. And the religion Jews practice is Judaism. And Jews are comprised of a wide variety of ethnic groups.

    That isn't theocratic in and of itself.

    I can't really blame them for this. Sectarian violence is widespread in the Middle East.

    There's discrimination on both sides. Jews discriminate against Arabs and Arabs discriminate against Jews.

    You can be an atheist and still be a Jew.

    According to Judaism, a Jew who rejects God or converts to another faith is an Apostate.

    as per the 1923 borders. That makes up the vast majority of Historical Palestine.

    1947 Borders.

    Truthfully, the most optimal would be "the entire region" and then Israel can be given the entire northern half of Germany.

    In that case I'm not sure that any of Israel should exist.

    You know a lot of folks feel that way. Some even started a war to impose that opinion. And as long as that threat remains, I'm pretty sure Israel ain't gonna let go of the territory it gained in that war.

    The Jewish people in the holy lands and the Arab world share genetic markers with the Arabs.. European Jews .. not so much.. Then there are black Jews like the Ethiopian Jews.

    The "Palestinians" are facing justice now. That's why their illegal houses (aka terrorist camps) are being demolished. Keep up the good work Israel.

    its pretty bigoted and disgusting to label all Palestinian housing as "terrorist camps".

    its like me saying all settlements are "Nazi outposts".

    You really love to throw around the word "bigot". Al Sharpton does that too, but we all know how little credibility he has, his ratings reflect it.

    That's nothing new.. The Israelis have done that sort of thing for over 60 years.

    Ridding the region of terrorism for 60 years is impressive. Nice work Israel.
