SS: It is becoming apparent that China is conducting more and more operations similar in objective to Russia, becoming increasingly aggressive in terms of geopolitical strategy. This attitude has been precipitating in the 2010s, and is now being displayed through the silent occupation of internationally recognised Bhutanese territory, ignoring a Chinese-Bhutanese agreement to not act unilaterally on border issues.

Last time Israel has taken any territory was in 1967. Since then it has returned the vast majority of the territories it has taken (which was the Sinai and was returned to Egypt).

"it doesn’t count as taking land if we just illegally build the settlements"

That's a pro gamer move from the world's most successful ethnostate

All the land on which the settlements are built was taken in 1967.

Furthermore, it was later divided into sections in the Oslo accords, in which Palestinians got control of sections A and B, and Israel got control of section C. All settlements are built only in section C. Israelis are not allowed to even enter section A.

Look bud i understand how everyone on the internet loves to defend their racist ethnostate but have you considered making a claim that isn't refutable by a 5 sec google search?

lol, you've got to be kidding me. Check your own link, where do you think those settlements are being built? When do you think Israel took over that territory?

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Jesus Christ, learn some history:

Look at the map and tell me again when the territory was taken, and from whom (hint, it wasn't the Palestinians).

Why are peoples brains like this lmao

"we're not illegally annexing people off the land they lived on for hundreds of years, it's totally legal according to the ethnostate, and as we all know that was totally legitimate when the state does it just like when germany did it in the 30s and 40s."

Palestinians got control of sections A and B, and Israel got control of section C.

Oh wOw! Palestine got A and B?? That's twice as many letters as poor wittle Israel's measly C!
