One cannot annex one's sovereign territory. The West Bank and Gaza were within Israel's borders as of the declaration of statehood in 1948. The West Bank was occupied by Jordan and Gaza by Egypt in their aggressive war in 1948. It was recovered in 1967.

Heinrich Heine was an ambitious young Jew who wanted to make it in the world of German poetry.
So he decided to do what so many thought was the best way forward: to turn on his people, be fully German, and convert to Christianity.
On January 9th, 1826, less than a year after converting to Christianity, Heine sent a letter to his close friend and former university classmate, Moses Moser, describing his experience since he had turned against his own people.
"Isn't it strange? I've only just converted to Christianity, and already people are angry with me for being a Jew. Now I am hated by Christians and Jews alike. I deeply regret having converted to Christianity. I have yet to experience any improvement in my life since then. On the contrary, ever since, I have been surrounded by bad luck." This letter sits today in Israel's National Library.
On Kristallnacht, the Germans burned his books together with the books of all other Jewish thinkers, Jewish texts, synagogues, and Jewish businesses.
A thought for those who think turning on their people when things get tough is a working strategy.

🇪🇬 Egyptian doctor Dr. Tawfik Hamid explains:
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not really about land or borders.
According to him, the real problem is the existence of a Jewish state in the Middle East.
He argues that religious hatred of Jews is one of the biggest obstacles to peace.

She just produces gold-standard content; she makes people encounter the truth even when they don’t really want to—it’s simply brilliant.

Israeli woman vs Jordanian man:
Her: “What’s the difference between a Palestinian and a Jordanian?”
Him: “Nothing. Same language. Same culture. Same traditions. Same religion. Not only Jordan… all our countries are the same.”
Her:
“So Arabs came from the Arabian Peninsula, colonized the entire Middle East, and now have **22 countries**…
But the Jews, Bnei Israel, can’t have **one**?
The Holy Land that **your own book** says Allah assigned to us?”
She quotes the Quran directly.
He has no answer.
Then she drops Golda Meir:
“The day Arabs love their children more than they hate the Jews… that will be the day we have peace.”
He just sits there smiling.
Same language. Same culture. 22 countries.
And still somehow the Jews are the problem for wanting one.

These children shouldn’t have to live like this. Yet they do. They cover up at such a young age so that they don’t arouse a man who may look at them. Think about that. It’s just so insane that we’re living in a world where this is normal.

College student:
“Jews are refugees. They have no right to self-determination. Israel has no sovereignty.”
The response that shut the room down:
“Millions of Jews left Auschwitz with nowhere to go.
Not one country on Earth took them in.
A million and a half Jews fought in World War II…
and still couldn’t bomb the tracks to the gas chambers.
Because they had no army.
No country.
No power.
The day Jews could finally defend themselves…
is the day Jews stopped dying.”
Hamas has said it out loud for two years:
They will keep going until every last Jew is dead.
You’re telling Israelis to dismantle their self-defense “for peace.”
Hamas is telling them: “Do it and we’ll slaughter you.”
And somehow… Hamas is winning the argument inside your head.
Go learn the actual history.
Then come back and talk. 🇮🇱
