I'm saying the history of the creation, partition and fighting over Palestine is a little bit different from the history of Russia, Ukraine and the Donbas

If you want to talk about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and all its horrors including the prisoner situation we can, I don't need you to ignore it. But it's dumb to want to pull that into a discussion on why that would somehow make the conflict the same as Rus vs Ukr

You seem to have a very one sided view on this.

Nasser and his allies knew that restarting their naval blockade would be a cause for war for Israel. They massed troops on the borders, threw out the peacekeepers overseeing the Strait and then announced they would be restarting their blockade.

So was it a certainty that the muslim coalition was going to attack Israel first? No. Would a naval blockade and enemy troops ready to cross their borders from all sides be a tenable situation for Israel? I don't know if you're familiar with the map of Israel but having 'unfriendly' troops in the West Bank creates a huge strategic problem. They chose not to take the risk and destroy or scare them away.

You're certainly right that the ultrazionists made sure not to 'miss any opportunity' when it came to the spoils of war. But it's also wrong to ignore that the opportunity to do so was largely given to them by their hostile neighbours.

Ok so Ukraine held part of Russia after a previous conflict and was kidnapping kids there, causing Russia to invade Crimea

Sorry that's a perfect comparison indeed

Maybe you can draw parallels with the Khmer Rouge as well to clear things up for us

I'm not sure if you're joking, but if you're not, you might want to read a little about the war you're referencing.

Israel invaded those territories because Jordan and Egypt were using them to launch a surprise attack.

"Live in peace" is a bit subjective in your example lol

I'm sorry I have to explain this. In the case of Hezbollah, they're agreeing to retreat to a distance from the border from where they can't (significantly) attack Israel again. The poster I'm replying to questions why Israel can't (be forced to) make a similar deal with Hamas. I'm using sarcasm to point to an important reason why

They were never going to eradicate them entirely. But their weight in Lebanon has certainly been reduced. Even more if they break the ceasefire again
