In 1967, Israel didn't take "Palestine's" land. Gaza was part of Egypt, West Bank part or Jordan. After the war Egypt and Jordan said they didn't want it back, as it was full of Palestinians. I think we'd feel the same way if Mexico got ahold of Texas.

You see, when a white president is walking to the helicopter, he's all like this, with his ass tight, and his back up straight, and he salutes the Marine at the stairs. But when a half-black president walks to the helicopter, he be all bouncin' and dippin' his shoulders, and boom shacka-lacka, and fist bumps the Marine, and goes 'Sup, nigga?," then jogs up the stairs.
