The entire nation of Israel is about the same size as the state of New Jersey. That's what all the fighting is about! The Palestinians were handed Gaza and the West Bank in 2005. I was in Israel in 2004, so I saw what would be handed over, lock, stock and barrel . . . Israel gave them lush green houses, olive groves, pomegranate orchards, stopped settlements in the West Bank, and handed the Palestinians the keys, so to speak. There is no "Occupation" and hasn't been. The so-called Palestinians were actually citizens of Israel, and have been since 1948. They insisted upon their own leadership and split over that too. Israel continues to hold the deed on the Judean Desert.
What I found and attempted to point out in this week's video can be shared by this simple link. The comparison of the land at stake and the size of the Arab nations surrounding Israel gives clear indication this is not at all about giving land to the Palestinians. This is about the annihilation of Israel.
Although the exact population has undoubtedly changed, this uproar amounts to basically a portion of New Jersey's population saying, we want a new state, all of our own, but we want it out of New Jersey, as a matter of fact, we want Trenton in the deal as well, and the other people in New Jersey can't go to Trenton unless we say they can. Then, take this one step further, in comparing the size of the Arab nations to this tiny, tiny little sliver in the Middle East, called Israel. Doesn't it make you wonder, if this isn't about the destruction of Israel; why the Arab nations don't want any Palestinian refugees? I'm guessing one view of Gaza would be a good indicator of the lack of motivation and progress, that the rest of the Arab nations don't want to contend with.
The link below gives a number of fascinating details regarding land, space, and population.
