Since when was there international law regarding the spoils of war? Who came up with this rubbish anyways?
Even if the Jews weren't the original owners of the land. Who ever wins the land by war, conflicts, diplomacy, or whatever, IS the Owner of the land. Just like freedom, if you don't fight for it you don't have the right to it. Every Nation is built ontop of Another, Every Country was once from another. (Israel is the only country to have such a long existing ties in history that to deny it is to accept being Ignorant! ) there has been no grace period. no expiration date or mandate that determines when a country is theres or not. Israel is the land of the Jews. They earned it. They fought for it. And no outsider like this Greta Berlin will change that. Infact as an activist she's a total failure in every measure of the word. in her 40 years of activism her action did not turn a stone. She should go back to... her Arab buddies and let our Daniel Pipes speak!

PS. Someone should throw a Translated copy of the Quran to this woman. Probably retranslated to Liberal-leftist English for her to understand. And have All of Sura 9 highlighted in Hippie colors for her to notice
