If Gaza is any example of how the Palestinians behave when given land and an opportunity, I would not look forward to a lot more concessions by Israel.

Hamas terrorists, suicide bombers, and rocket rocket attacks on civilian areas are not things we normally desire in our neighbors.

Why is Israel not considered equally worthy of being freed from oppression? They would seem to be surrounded by hostile forces who seek their destruction. At the same time, they have managed, through their own hard work, to thrive in a desert area which was largely undeveloped prior to their arrival.

The former terrorists in the Israeli government are now very old and have largely died off.
