Israel doesn't occupy the Gaza strip and look what happened there? Why don't the Egyptians move back in? I think the facts support why Israel needs to defend its boarders.

Good Luck!!!
Israel still occupies the Palestinian territories becuase there is no peace partner with which Israel can negotiate a peace deal+withdrawal. When Israel tried withdrawing without a peace partner, it just created more violence (see Gaza, Southern Lebanon). This justifies why Israel is still there today, but does not address why it was ever there at all. Israel originally occupied those territories because they were a launching ground for attack against Israel, and thus for Israel's own protection it could not let those areas fall back into enemy hands. Israel has shown throughout history that it is willing to sacrifice great swaths of land for peace, be it accepting the UN partition plan (sacrificing more than half of what was promised under the Balfour declaration), to giving up the Sinai to Egypt for peace, to withdrawing unilaterally from Gaza. However, the time is not right and the conditions not met for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank.
Israel doesn't occupy anything.
Why do Arabs still occupy Israel?

Edit: Kane #1 Fan, I hope you are right.
Jews and Arabs are a special people. Someday we will get along with eachother.
I think the Israeli leaders and the Israeli lobby are making a good business out of occupation and wars. Real peace is the last thing in their minds.
