(30,109 posts)The problem is that Judea is neither exclusive or sovereign Palestinian land, and historically it never was. That land was administered by the Brits and before them, the Turks.
It's disputed land.
If it were sovereign Palestinian territory before 1967, you'd have a solid case for acquisition of territory by war.
Also, check out the 1964 Palestinian charter. The PLO doesn't make any claims to Gaza or the W.Bank. Their focus was 100% within the green line. Ask yourself why. Here's why: Palestinian leadership has never been interested in their own land as much as they have been against Jewish sovereignty in any part of that area. It's why the conflict persists. Anyone not intentionally blind knows this because that's all Palestinians see on a daily basis in the W.Bank and Gaza.
That's why there's no peace. The existence of a sovereign Israel within 1 square km is intolerable.
