How much of Syria, Lebanon, West Bank and Gaza did Israel occupy in 1966?


You don't want to say the answer is ZERO.

So instead, you change the topic and post about hostages. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. It's not a good look.

Your inability to refute my claim is proof that the only expansion Israel darried out after its' creation was after 1967/the 6 Day War and in direct relation to Arab aggressions which resulted in losses for them. Throughout their history, Arabs (and their aggressive behaviour) have been their own worst enemy.

Even if it was a bad deal, they should have taken the land offered to them in 1947. They wouldn't still be stateless refugees.
I'm not interested in your faulty rationalizations for colonization, apartheid and genocide.
I really don't care about your incredibly wrong version of history.

Israel has been occupying all of Palestine, including Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank since 1948.

Israel needs to end the occupation and obey international law.

I won't respond to posts and get into arguments where you (intentionally and very wrongly) attempt to put words in my mouth.
You have repeatedly stated you don't think the state of Palestine exists, meaning you think Israel has wiped it off the maps.
That is a fair comment.

You just cited "since 1948". That was when the state of Israel was created and its' borders at that time were established and recognized as such as can be seen on world maps and globes from then. One has to accept that because before then, there was no Israel.

Those borders remained the same until 1967 and the 6 Day war. It was only then, and following future aggressions against Israel that one can argue that Israel's legal borders possibly expanded.

As such, my original point stands.

Palestinians fought for the UK in WWII under the promise that they would be given their homeland back.
The UK lied to them.
Let's say that you're 100% correct, that they got a raw deal.

But the fact remains that even that raw deal included more than enough land for an actual State of Palestine for 5 or 6 million Palestinians to live and develop instead of still being stateless refugees almost 80 years later.

Straight question: Suppose that the Arab leaders at that time had accepted what was offered and formed the State of Palestine. Do you think that those people and their descendants would be better off or worse off than they are now. Better or worse.

TBH, It's basically a rhetorical question but I suspect that you won't give a straight answer. I'm expecting some kind of deflections or spinning.

How can one measure how much they like wallowing in self pity and being martyrs to their own misery?

You're now bragging about the Nabka?

The Nakba (Arabic: النَّكْبَة, romanized: an-Nakba, lit. 'the catastrophe') is the ethnic cleansing[4] of Palestinian Arabs through their violent displacement and dispossession of land, property, and belongings, along with the destruction of their society and the suppression of their culture, identity, political rights, and national aspirations.[5] The term is used to describe the events of the 1948 Palestine war in Mandatory Palestine as well as the ongoing persecution and displacement of Palestinians by Israel.[6] As a whole, it covers the fracturing of Palestinian society and the long-running rejection of the right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants.[7][8]
During the foundational events of the Nakba in 1948, approximately half of Palestine's predominantly Arab population, or around 750,000 people,[9] were expelled from their homes or made to flee through various violent means, at first by Zionist paramilitaries, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by its military. Dozens of massacres targeted Palestinian Arabs and over 500 Arab-majority towns, villages, and urban neighborhoods were depopulated,[10] with many of these being either completely destroyed or repopulated by Jews and given Hebrew names. Haganah employed biological warfare against Palestinians by poisoning village wells. By the end of the war, 78% of the total land area of the former Mandatory Palestine was controlled by Israel.

Like in another post today when you attempt to put words in my mouth, I will not engage.

If you want to debate honourably, I'm ready to listen.
You are claiming that Israel achieved peace in 1948, after they committed the Nabka.
Are you denying when and what happened, along with what you said?

You're putting words in my mouth again.
Its a fair comparison, you argue that you think Palestinians should have allowed foreign colonialists to just take half of their country the way Putin wants to take Ukraine.
Feel free to tell me why you think that's different.

You will not bait me and I'm not going down your rabbit hole.

I made a factual claim about Israel's borders and you have been unable to refute it. End of story.

Talking about other events and countries is simply a diversion.

You keep putting words in my mouth.

I clearly stated my claim several times and you are not accurately quoting me.
You specifically claimed that Israel was the most peaceful after 1948, just after the Nabka.
No wonder you've been defending genocide, its the same idea after all.
Kill your way to 'peace'.
