    What ignorance. Read the link I gave and please you cannot just make things up. I do appreciate that that is what some people think but make up does not go with known history. Also quit name calling people who are not so ignorant as you.

    I suggest you get to know what you are talking about before you say true to things which are not true. I left a link.

    Just for the sake of conversation, lets say you get what you want. Now what? What are your predictions?

    I would also recommend that any country bordering Israel think twice about invading Israel but it's unrelated to any loss of territory.

    What is needed is for the United Nations Security Council to respond to this request by the UN General Assembly

    http://www.mideastweb.org/181.htm

    It's been 70 years since that request was made and history has now firmly established the there can never be a fair and equitable peace between Israel and the Palestinians unless the UN Security Council takes full control of the situation. This will require a UN Security Council Resolution authorizing an overwhelming military force to enter "Palestine" to enforce the full intent of UN General Assembly Resolution 181.

    That military force, by necessity, must be lead by the US military for two reasons.

    1. The US military is the only military that both Israel and the Palestinian Arabs can actually trust.
    2. The overwhelming military might of the US military would (hopefully) prevent Israel from attempting to challenge it.

    Curious why? Is it because of a perceived strength of Israeli military, or simply because Israel is a sovereign country?

    UN 181 fell apart due to the Arab's refusal to accept it. After 70 years, three wars, and state borders established by international treaties, it is no longer germane to the situation today.

    Both.
    If Syria invaded Israel, for instance, Israel would -again- kick its ass; with some level of disgust and contrary to the screams of the anti-Jew crowd, the UNSC would unanimously pass a resolution demanding that Syria cease and desist.

    I predict the end of neoZionism whether the Palestinians ' get what they want ' or not. It's unsustainable. Eventually there will be an Arab majority in Israel- unless Israel expels its Arab citizens. Some might think that that's an option- but the world at large would never stand for it- not even the USA in its dying years of white Evangelical Zionist-friendly government.
    Israel can't occupy/annex any Palestinian territory indefinitely. It's illegal.
    Israel can't keep attacking Gaza , the West Bank, Lebanon or whoever because it feels threatened. It will ALWAYS feel threatened until it abides by international law and falls under the protection of the United Nations- like every other small country on earth surrounded by bigger neighbors. The world is already at the end of its patience with Israeli aggression.
    So my ' prediction' is that that region of the world will revert to how it was prior to the onset of the despicable ethnic cleansing doctrine of Zionism- a majority of Arabs living in relative harmony with a minority of Jews. That's the way that it always was- and that's the way forward for a peaceful future.

    Of course, the neoZionist war-criminals will rail against any such change in the status-quo. Too bad for them. They're going to The Hague/Hell anyway. Nobody will miss them. Nobody will even remember them in 50 years.

    Nonsense. Resolution 181 is repeatedly recalled by new UN Resolutions- along with Resolution 242. Why do you persist in spouting this rubbish ?

    There is no such thing as Hell, Hague, or peaceful Muslim states.

    One wonders who the Muslims will turn their hate to, once the Jews are gone.
    Perhaps they will claim a right of return to Spain.

    They usually turn on each other. Hating Jews is the one thing they can agree on.

    Nobody in his right mind would dare.to attack them... not with their 400+ nuclear warheads. Israelis have said they would take everybody with them, IF they go down.

    The topic is about the occupied territories. Nuclear war is not on the table.

    Israel occupied Jordanian territory 1967-1994.
    In 1994, Jordan ceded that territory to Israel.
    So... what occupied territory?

    Do you not know why the territory in Israel referred to as the "occupied territories" are called the occupied territories ?

    Try google or wiki under "occupied territories".

    For the same reason, Palestinian terrorists are now called partisans?

    Given that Jordan ceded its territory to Israel -- no.
    Tell me.
