I don't necessarily believe that Israel should annex the West Bank, but
I definitely believe that they have every right to do so.
Why is it that every time the Arab countries wage war against Israel,
they cry about losing something?   The aggressors in '67 weren't Israel,
nor were they in '73.  If the Arabs had won either of these wars (whatever
"won" means), would they have stopped like Israel did in '73 (they had every
right to pounce on Egypt).
If you're gonna start a war, realize beforehand what you may lose and
be prepared to accept the consequences of your behavior.
