In each of these conflicts Israel defended their territory (regardless if it was ill-gotten). These are the wars i was referring to. The arab countries surrounding Israel have tried and have as yet failed to reclaim the land.
It is pointless to argue whether it was valid for Israel to claim its independence, for nothing will change the fact that Israel exists. As long as they defend the land they will continue to exist. They may have been legislated into existence but they will not be legislated out of existence.

All facts and true ...
What is scary, is that in 2006, you accept that war decided of territorial possession ...
So, the Arabs are ,by that reasoning, quite motivated in attacking and destroying Israel to take back the land ... and the world community should accept the outcome...
I have problems with that. The only solution is a political one, with compensation from and for both sides..
But I am going way to far here .....
