I suppose Israel can use this logic to justify gobbling up land around their country and establishing new settlements on these lands.
Better yet, if you live in a rough neighborhood, why not just take your neighbors houses that are next your house, as that will give you a buffer in the neighborhood.

Israel does not oppose a Palestinian nation, in fact they favor it for obvious reasons. it would end the turmoil in that area.
the Israelis have claimed lands beyond their original borders and settled on it. and as far as i am concerned they have every right to do so because the only reason they did is to prevent attacks on their land. the settlements in the Golan Heights are an example of this. the Golan Heights are a strategic high ground ideal for rocket attacks. and of course a perfect defensive position.
Israel eventually occupied this area due to repeated attacks by Arab terrorists and that's exactly what they are .. terrorists. Yasser Arafat was nothing but a terrorist. his claim to be some sort of "freedom fighter" is total crap. and he was a thief too. he stole a reported nearly 1 billion of money meant for these "refugees" paid for by stupid nations like the USA and others. Arafat is just another in a long line of Arab racist assholes who refuse to take an offer of a nation for the Palestinians. because it would remove his ability to steal the aid money for himself.
Israel could and should have kept land they conquered in wars started by various Arab nations like Egypt and others allied with Egypt like Syria. every time the Israelis kicked these punk Arab's asses. yet they eventually gave it back which is nearly unheard of in the concept of "the spoils of war". they did it as a goodwill gesture. and it was nothing but sand anyway. not even any oil there.
when you hear liberal idiots like AOC run her suckhole about the "plight of the Palestinians" it shows she knows nothing about the true history of post WWII events. don't be as stupid as AOC.
and while i'm at it the US should cut off all aid to Israel. they haven't needed it in decades. you want to rant about wasting money like wtf does? put this on the list. from the late 1940's to the the mid 1980's you could justify the aid as needed because Israel was constantly under attack and trying to establish their nation. they have long ago done so. they should be cut off from US aid.
