The land under the Palestinians wasn't theirs until Isreal gave it to them. The British gave all that land back to Isreal in the 40's, it was a wasteland that no one else wanted. After they began to restore the land all of a sudden refugees from other muslim countries started piling up in Gaza. I dont know what the US will do but I doubt they'll give up the settlements.

It will never happen. The US is a colony of Israel. In case you haven't noticed, Jews run the US from top to bottom

Undoubtedly they will.
Perhaps you would understand what their strategy is: Gaza, and the Palestinians, demand a whole helluva lot in exchange for delivering one Israeli soldier they captured: the release of hundreds of Palestinians soldiers.
That seems rather one sided not only to me, but more than likely to the Israelis as well. So I imagine that the Israelis are stacking the deck for themselves in the negotiating table as well.
We'll withdraw from our settlements, provided YOU start being more reasonable in your demands...
An Israeli solider has been acquitted after shooting a 13 year old girl in the back. Sickening isn't it?

Is it not consistent for a Christian to oppose the Israeli occupation of Palestine, while also opposing the Muslim presence in Europe?

You're reading US pressure will be necessary if Israel is to stop expanding Jewish settlements in the occupied territories. Your thoughts on whether this might ever happen, and whether some of these settlements might ever be relinquished?

In 1947, the United Nations approved the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. In 1948 the state of Israel declared independence and this was followed by a war with the surrounding Arab states, which refused to accept the plan. The Israelis were subsequently victorious in a series of wars confirming their independence and expanding the borders of the Jewish state beyond those in the UN Partition Plan. Since then, Israel has been in conflict with many of the neighboring Arab countries, resulting in several major wars and decades of violence that continue to this day. Since its foundation, Israel's boundaries and the State's right to exist have been subject to dispute, especially among its Arab neighbors and their many Palestinian refugees. Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, though efforts for a long-lasting peace with the Palestinians have so far been unsuccessful.
