While Arabs may hold title to land in the West Bank and Gaza, the sovereignty of that land is still very much in question
Dude, that’s exactly the kind of stuff I’m talking about. If the soverignity of the land is in dispute, then Israel shouldn’t be building houses there. What they’re doing is trying to build as many houses as they can so that sovereignty of the land will become a foregone conclusion — they’ll have more people there, so they can say that any attempt to remove them will be an attack against their soverignty. It’s a bullshit move, but if you say that, you’re anti-Israel. I’m not anti-Israel. The jews have gotten a raw deal for a long time, and I have no problem with them having and keeping their little slice of heaven just like everyone else in the world. But they often do stupid or inappropriate things (just like any country does) and a body should be able to say that without getting tarred for it.
