I'll say it again: THIS IS NOT ABOUT AN OCCUPATION.
All the land that was illegally taken has been either returned to or given up by the side that lost the land. There was no such place called Palestine between 1948 and 1967. There was Egypt, Israel and Jordan. Since the Israeli occupation, both Egypt and Jordan have normalized their relationships with Israel and gave up on this land (well, Sinai was passed on to the Egyptians).

When synagogues were attacked last year in Turkey, it became clear to anyone with a sense of ration and a grasp of geopolitics that this was NOT about an occupation. Did those Turkish Jews invade a Palestinian home-land? Did those Jews take Palestinian homes? So why were they attacked? What was their crime other than being Jewish?

If you are still not convinced, read this article: http://www.palestinefacts.org/what_occupation.html
While an opinion is presented there, the article follows facts. Lots of them. Read the facts, do your own backround checks, and then draw your own conclusions. I challenge anyone who has read that article to come with a decent explaination as to why he still thinks that this conflict is about an Israeli occupation. It simply isn't.
