Don't duck the question FGD, by saying, "israel didnt steal their land. israel made peace with egypt in exchange for the sinai penn and allowed israel to keep the shithole of gaza."
Not only did Israel steal Palestinian land, the issue of Egypt being bribed by the USA is totally external to any Palestinian issues. The Sinai desert can't grow a weed may be important to Egypt to only Egypt, but it addresses no Palestinian issues, nor does the disputed lands still retained by Israel address any Lebanese and Syrian issues.
That facts is and remains, if Uncle Sammy quits bribing Egypt and Jordan, the Mr. Rogers its a beautiful day in the mid-east neighborhood could turn decidedly anti-Israeli world wide.
Its simply why the stakes are so high on extending the Israeli settlement freeze.
I saw no question in your post.
Secondly, even if the US bribed Egypt and Jordan, what stops them from honoring it many years later?
more money?
Egypt and Jordan were at first interested in peace after being wrecked in plenty of wars. the US just tagged itself along to make sure the agreement happened.
Secondly, the Sinai penn has oil. maybe not on the level of saudi arabia or iran, but it has oil.
Probably enough to substain Israel if it chose to keep it.
