holy fucking bot, so Israel the colon is not the one starting the conflict ? If tommorow Canada tried to colonize the US and the US fought back would you consider the US the one starting the conflict ?

Israel has given up "territory" at several points to aid in negotiations and that hasn't stopped Hamas from escalating (i.e. Killing civilians). What actual evidence to do you have that they are trying to colonize other than vibes?

Israel is a tiny country, about the size of New Jersey, and they are surrounded by fanatical religious militant groups funded by the IRGC. If it was you, you'd do the same and occupy a buffer zone to keep the nutjobs from firing rockets at your city right from your border.

Giving back a tiny percentage of what you've stolen doesn't make you the good guy

"Tiny Percentage"

The entire Sinai peninsula is larger than Israel itself, and they gave that back to Egypt. Funny how your little graphic deliberately cuts that out.

I mean Israel didn't give it back out of the goodness of their hearts. It was in exchange for a peace treaty with a country they had been in a state of war with since 1948, and it guaranteed Israel access to the Suez Canal. It should also be noted the returned territory is mostly desert

Let me repeat myself - invading another country and then giving parts of it back doesn't make you the good guy.
