36. Of course Israel is not the poor defenseless innocent victim. And that bothers the hell out of a lot of Jew haters.

No, Israel is a powerful, resilient, competent, merciless victim that fights back. Something that the many overtly menacing enemies which surround the Jewish state on all sides cannot fathom. Nevertheless, Israel has been ready and willing to exchange land for peace, with only one of the many enemies it is surrounded by, Egypt, ever accepting the offer. The rest of its hostile Arab neighbors consistently rejected land for peace ever since 1967. Did any of them ever offer Israel peace for land? Not once. An undeniable fact which is nevertheless being habitually denied: since 1967, Israel gave up two thirds of the land in its control. For peace.

If there was any truth in the fairy tale of the land grabbing genocidal Israel, why is it still one third of the land it used to be? And why is 30% of its citizens are Arab Palestinians?

Yeah, Israel's neighbors are terrorized by the fact that it exists. Tough, that doesn't create in Israel a sense of obligation to quietly disappear.
