(35,955 posts)72. Why are you claiming you wrote something completely different than what you did?
All I've written is that land to the west of Jordan was designated as the Jewish homeland.
I'll refer you to yr own words in post #30: 'Unless the Jews voluntarily give up claims to any of that land, its legally theirs.'
It's your belief, shared by many here, that Jews have no right to anything in the WB.
I've not met a DUer here who believes that. Most LW folk at DU believe that Israel (repeat that after me, coz you seem to have trouble distinguishing between Israel (a state and a nationality) and Jews (many of whom aren't Israeli, just the same as a sizeable number of Israelis aren't Jewish). So it would be honest to say 'It's your belief, shared by many here, that Israel has no right ot anything in the WB'. That is actually the position held by many people at DU, because most DUers do oppose the occupation and comprehend that Israel doesn't own or have any legal right to the West Bank. Your position, in claiming that Israel legally owns the West Bank, is an extreme position, and one that never was welcome back at DU2...

No, he didn't prove anything at all. You merely agreed with his opinion...

I believe that King D. is trying to paint others as evil anti-semites.
