Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt

There are many other problems with "Palestinian" claims. Of course, no one can unscramble eggs, but this is pretty much the situation. It was the UN that partitioned the land. Israel was content with what they received, although it was so narrow in some places as to be indefensible. They did not attack the Arabs; it was the Arabs who, in defiance of the United Nations, attacked Israel and with the publicly oft-repeated intention of annihilating her. Any teritory Arabs lost from what the UN had alloted to them was taken by Israel in the process of defending herself from an enemy that had attacked with extermination in mind.

Time magazine pointed out (April 4, 1988) that had the Arabs not attacked but accepted the UN partition, as Israel did, the "Palestinians" would have been living in their own state all these years. Of course, they never intended to accept any co-existence with Israel, as their leaders repeatedly vowed. And now, after five failed wars, they demand what the UN originally gave them. Surely Israel has no obligation to hand the original UN boundaries back to the Arabs who violently rejected them and made them the basis of attempts to exterminate her. That would be a suicidal reward of aggression.

It would be absurd for Israel to give back to her attackers the strategic territory she had to take in order to defend herself. Nevertheless, in a gesture unheard of in the history of war, victorious Israel has given back nearly 95 percent of the land she took in self-defense - and the Palestinians have persistently used that territory for launching terrorist attacks against their benefactor.
