> You continue to mischaracterize Israel’s defensive actions as conquest

Annexing territory through force without the consent of the people living there is conquest. I don't know what else to tell you. It's the difference between Israel's occupation of the Sinai and it's annexation of the Golan Heights, one is different than the other.

Can you answer me a simple question, when Israel annexed the Golan Heights did it ask any of the people living there what they thought about it?

>You mischaracterize as conquest how Israel came to exist; the territory was granted by the previous owner, the British, who took it from the Ottomans, who took it from…, who took it from the Jews

If we're going to go this far back in history, let's not forget that the Jews took what became Israel from people living there already. I think it's dumb to talk about who conquered who in the Iron Age when it comes to informing modern international relations but if we must let's remember the Israelites took Canaan though force. It's in the Bible

>You claim that Israel is undemocratic when it’s the only fucking democracy in the entire fucking region and, although as imperfect as any other democracy, uses that government to protect the rights of its citizens to a far greater extent than any other country in the region, including the fifth of the population who are Arabs who enjoy far greater rights than any other Arab in any other Arab nation.

The authoritarian of Arab states around Israel doesn't excuse Israel's behavior. I can talk all day about how the Arab states around Israel violate basic human rights of people, and they absolutely do. I mean look at Syria. But none of that excuses another country commiting its own human rights violations.

You never once acknowledged that Israel didn't ask the people who it forcibly took into it's territory if they wanted to be part of Israel

You can't pretend that's not real
