Yes, because telling someone to change their borders is exactly like throwing jews in an oven just because their jews...
Because of their Jews or because they are Jews??
In 1967 while the Arabs were falsely accusing the
United States of airlifting supplies to Israel, Johnson
imposed an arms embargo on the region, France,
Israel's other main arms supplier also embargoed
arms to Israel, by contrast, the Soviets were
supplying massive amounts of arms to the Arabs
and simultaneously, the armies of Kuwait, Algeria,
Saudi Arabia and Iraq were contributing troops and
arms to the Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian military
fronts.
Nabil Shaath, an aide to Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas, said Netanyahu's insistence on
keeping key parts of the territories the Palestinians
want for their state is a "declaration of war against
the Palestinians."
That's like saying that France's insistence on keeping
key parts of its territory that the Nazis wanted for
their state was a declaration of war.

The real nakba, which is the story of the Arab
apartheid. Tens of millions, among them Jews,
suffered from the nakba, which included
dispossession, expulsion and displacement.
Only the Palestinians remained refugees
because they were treated to abuse and
oppression by the Arab countries.
Below is the story of the real nakba:
In 1959, the Arab League passed Resolution 1457,
which states as follows: The Arab countries will not grant citizenship to applicants of Palestinian origin in
order to prevent their assimilation into the host
countries.
That is a stunning resolution, which was diametrically
opposed to international norms in everything pertaining
to refugees in those years, particularly in that decade.
The story began, of course, in 1948, when the Palestinian nakba occurred. It was also the beginning
of every discussion on the Arab-Israeli conflict, with
the blame heaped on Israel, because it expelled the
refugees, turning them into miserable wretches.
This lie went public through academe and the media
dealing with the issue.
In previous articles on the issue of the Palestinians,
we explained that there is nothing special about the
Israeli Arab conflict.
First, the Arab countries refused to accept the proposal
of partition and they launched a war of annihilation
against the State of Israel which had barely been
established.
All precedents in this matter showed that the party
that starts the war - and with a declaration of
annihilation, yet - pays a price for it.
Second, this entails a population exchange: indeed,
between 550,000 and 710,000 Arabs (the most precise
calculation is that of Prof. Ephraim Karash, who
calculated and found that their number ranges
between 583,000 and 609,000). Most of them fled,
a minority were expelled because of the war and a
larger number of about 850,000 Jews were expelled
or fled from Arab countries ( the Jewish nakba).
Third, the Palestinians are not alone in this story.
Population exchanges and expulsions were the norm
at that time. They occurred in dozens of other conflict
points, and about 52 million people experienced
dispossession, expulsion and uprooting (And the
World is lying).
And fourth, in all the population exchange precedents
that occurred during or at the end of an armed conflict,
or on the backdrop of the establishment of a national
entity, or the disintegration of a multinational state
and the establishment of a national entity - there
was no return of refugees to the previous region,
which had turned into a new national state.
The displaced persons and the refugees, with almost
no exceptions, found sanctuary in the place in which
they joined a population with a similar background:
the ethnic Germans who wore expelled from Central
and Eastern Europe assimilated in Germany, the
Hungarian refugees from Czechoslovakia and other
places found sanctuary in Hungary, the Ukrainians
who were expelled from Poland found sanctuary in
Ukraine, and so forth. In this sense, the affinity
between the Arabs who originated in mandatory
Palestine and their neighbors in Jordan, Syria and
Lebanon, was similar or even greater than the
affinity between many ethnic Germans and their
country of origin in Germany, sometimes after a
disconnect of many generations.
Only the Arab states acted completely differently
from the rest of the world.
They crushed the refugees despite the fact that
they were their coreligionists and members of the
Arab nation. They instituted a régime of apartheid
to all intents and purposes. So we must remember
that the nakba was not caused by the actual
dispossession, which had also been experienced by
tens of millions of others.
The nakba is the story of the apartheid and abuse
suffered by the Arab refugees (it was only later that
they became Palestinians) in Arab countries.
Details about individual arab countries to follow, I
know I have already far exceeded your meager
attention span.
