OK. The last part is that all the surrounding countries were made from land they got the same way Israel did. Your example is not really relevant because the US is a country and so is China. The land in the US is part of the US.
Not all countries surrounding Israel were formed in the same way. Egypt has existed for ~5000 years in roughly the same place with few gaps (and once controlled all of what is Israel today, about 3300 years ago). Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon were formed through mandates to Britain (Jordan) and France (Lebanon and Syria) that Israel and Palestine were. That does not justify a war of conquest.
Wars of conquest can be of two types. Unnecessary or necessary. Unnecessary ones is where you just want to take over another area and expand your power and influence.
All of them got land from the same deal. Palestine was a name given to the land Israel was on by the Romans The Arabs co-opted the name. That land Jordan got was to be the "palestinian" state. They reneged on the deal. war of conquest? Israel was attacked by many Arab states as soon as it was re-born in 1948...
No (Trans-)Jordan was a separate part of the British Mandate (the part beyond the Jordan River, hence the name). Mandatory Palestine was the remaining part and to be partitioned into Jewish and Arab States.
Some fun trivia: the Arabic language does not have the letter "p" as in Palestine, and Arabic speakers can have a hard time pronouncing it. An Arab waiter might offer you a cub of soub, rather than a cup of soup. Strange. It would be as if Germans couldn't pronounce the "d" in Deutschland.
No I wasn't. Jordan, originally known as Transjordan, was created out of the British Mandate for Palestine. Specifically, the eastern portion of the Palestine Mandate, east of the Jordan River, was designated as Transjordan and given a separate administration. After the failure of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, the 1947–1949 Palestine war ended with Mandatory Palestine divided among Israel, the Jordanian annexation of the West Bank and the Egyptian All-Palestine Protectorate in the Gaza Strip. The West Bank, west of the Jordan River, was part of the original British Mandate for Palestine. It was later annexed by Jordan in 1950, but this annexation was not widely recognized.
I see that you don't think facts are a thing. Not sure how a discussion is possible under those conditions.
I see historical revisionism is your thing...so not sure how a discussion is possible under those conditions.
It is not.
First this is propaganda/political posturing. I was referring to the international legal situation. Zuheir Mohsen was a politician who died almost 40 years ago. .
Um, no. They can't easily pronounce the word for the land that they conquered and colonized.
I don't know what difference time makes. By your logic, the English can claim to be indigenous to upper North America.
