Take out the bronze age nonsense of; "god's on our side," "god gave us this land," "I'm not afraid because god will protect me," or "It's in the bible," and all that remains is an indefensible, morally unjustifiable, land grab. International law has decreed it illegal, but what is being done to redress the situation?

All I see for the future is escalation, and who knows what that will lead to.
