Isn't the Dead Sea, mentioned by Aristotle as being in Palestine, in Israel?
I wasn't aware that the State of Israel came into existance through the process of conquering the land . . . . I thought the UN gave it to them . .. .And as to your issue with the American Indians....yes, if the American Indians then turned around and conquered Americans and took back their land to occupy as a nation again, then it would be theirs, just like Israel did.
