Is "Israel Occupation" a Myth or Fact?

In regard to Israel's rights to the land that is considered by some to be "occupied."

How Would You Respond?

This is what I saw today on my Facebook newsfeed:

‎"We respect divine religions, including the Jewish religion. The problem is with Israel's occupation (of Arab lands), not with the Jews."
-Hussein Rahhal, Hezbollah's media chief

How would you respond?


My response:

What about the Arab lands and leaders who have kicked out all of the Jews and who have taken all of their belongings? And what about the Arab lands and leaders who treat the Palestinians worse than what they experience in Israel? Arabs are persecuting Christians, Jews, Muslims, Women, Gays, etc. -- but people only focus on Israel -- as if every country in the world can do whatever they want -- but not Israel -- no, they must be perfect in every way. I don't seem to recall Israel bombing German schools after 6 million Jews were exterminated." 

The Jews have a right to a homeland. All it takes is for Israel to be recognized as having a right to exist. The truth, is that if the Arabs laid down their weapons, we would have peace. If Israel laid down there weapons, there would be no Israel. Think about what that would mean to all of the world's religions. Let's get real with this issue!
