The Right To Exist?
I think England should declare a statement like, "America doesn't have the right to exist, because they took the land from the native people who were living there, and they broke away from British rule to become their own nation." If this seems to be so incomprehensible, why does it seem okay that America should dictate to Israel how they should divide their land to give to another group? America took land from those who occupied it before the nation was formed, why shouldn't we have to do the same thing we are expecting Israel to do? I think Europe should go back to it's pre-world war one boarders, and see the response you'd get out of Europeans. If America had to give land back, they would have to give Native Americans Minnesota and the Dakotas so they could have a sovereign nation. (Oh by the way, California and Texas should go back to Mexico while we are dividing up land) Israel has tried giving land back before, the land for peace deals, and there still wasn't peace. In fact, there will never be peace no matter how much land is given back, because the Arab world does not want Israel to exist, period. Israel could give away 95% of their land for a Palestinian State, and it still would not be enough. Recently President Obama stated that Israel needs to go back to the boarders it had back in 1967, and in a recent speech Israel's president had this to say:
In a speech before the pro-Israel lobby in Washington on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared such borders to be "indefensible." Influential U.S. lawmakers hold that same opinion and have faulted Obama for staking out his position.

Israel will be seen as a nation of defiance, and the support for her right to keep her boarders and her sovereignty will disappear. In many Christian circles there is now more support for the Palestinians than there is for Israel. We have Pastors who will argue against Israel for the sake of the poor Palestinians. When I was in Israel the last two times, I have witnessed areas under Palestinian control and they are simply ghettos. The Israeli government bends over backwards to be fair to all of it's citizens not only Jews, but the Palestinians do not share that same attitude toward the Israeli government.
However, rather than trying to justify or lay blame on any group of people, I would rather state what the scriptures declare as Gods perspective.
Joel 3:1212Let the nations stir themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat for there I will sit to judge
