That's the downfall of your whole argument, it is exactly that, "history",... past history, gone, kaputt, זה הסתייםHuman conflicts throughout the annals of human history, the victory dictates the terms of the borders of conflicting states. Read history books rather than newspapers.
Borders cannot be altered unless agreed to by both parties. See below:
Israel Law Resource said:[SIZE=+1]INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW1. Acquisition of Territory by Military Conquest is Illegal, and gaining sovereignty via military occupation is illegal. The only legal reason for a military action or occupation is self-defense, and it is generally thought that legal occupations would be only short-term because they would only be for the purpose of self-defense (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
(applies during wartime and to military occupations)[/SIZE]
2. Parties to military conflict and their armed forces are required to allow civilians to return to their homes following the end of fighting no matter what their reasons for leaving (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
3. It is Illegal for Occupant to Significantly Change Local Laws (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
4. Military forces and occupation forces are required to respect religious, educational and cultural institutions, and to allow ministers of religion to preach and give religious counsel to civilians, POW's, etc. (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
5. PROPORTIONALITY - An Important Legal Principle for measuring the Legality of a Military Action (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
6. Collective Punishment is illegal because Civilians are Punished who were not Directly Responsible for the Crime (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
7. The Occupant Must Strike a Balance Between Securing its own Military Safety and Public Order vs. Doing Only That Which Benefits the Native People, but the Latter is the More Important (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
8. The Occupant is Required to Respect the Self-Determination Needs of the Native People except where it Significantly Jeopardizes its own Safety (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
9. The Occupant is Required to Respect the Human Rights of the Native People except where it Significantly Jeopardizes its own Safety (related International Laws, Israeli violations, and references).
