But since we're both in the same country
There is an ocean between us, in more ways than one. On that point though, the international community is not acceptiong of the concept of invading other nations and claiming spoils, in fact, it's a little bit frowned on these days. Pity you're a tad out of touch with the modern international arena.

They'd just have to develop their own land, open their own businesses, and leave their Israeli neighbors alone. Israel isn't stopping the Palestinians from living peacefully on their own land and thriving, only the Palestinians are preventing peace and choosing to live in abject poverty.
Well, one thing is true, many are trying to. One the other hand continual road closures and blocked routes have caused many to loose jobs, particularly those that held jobs in Israel, Israel also has a long hisstory of bulldozing olive groves, and more recently, seperating them from the farmers with their shiny new wall. Their own land is split into thousands of tiny slivers of land, controlled by Israeli checkpoints, making it close to impossible for them to move around, makes a functioning economy a tad tough.

Notice how some people just do the hard work for you. Coz hey, all those people with different political views should DIE.
