Genocide or relocation. The Israelis have the right to occupy that land because they were invaded and they kicked everyone's asses. Mexico ed around with our border with Texas in 1845, so we invaded and took 1/3 of their country away. You mess with a strong country and you are gonna loose something. If the Palestinans want their land back, let the people who lost it for them in the first place come and take it.
