If you bother to learn any history then you will know that whenever the victors in a war are unjust and take too much, then it just breeds hatred and resentment which in turn means more wars and terrorism. One of the main reasons Hitler came to power was the fact he could play on people's resentment and the feeling of being treated unjustly by the Allies after the 1st World War.

i was gonna stay out of htis thread cause i had helped it get off topic for a bit, but i've gotta answer this.
in the case of isreal, they have always been the defender, so yes, to the victors go the spoils. if someone attacks you and they lose, and you rip their shirt, they don't have the right to demand you buy them a new shirt.
and you know anything about history, you'd know that it's not the wars that matter, it's how you treat your conquered subjects. look at the roman empire. they conquered a hell of a lot of people and basically gave them an ultimatum upon defeat... join us or die. most places the newly conquered peoples joined the empire, and rome helped rebuild and bring new technology to those people (aqueducts, paved roads, etc). there were very few places that they had problems with in their empire after conquering, the middle east being one.
