While I would have to say I support the Israeli side of that war, and it really is a war, I do agree with your point about the land grabs, they are an act of sheer idiocy under the circumstances.
I get quite antsy about accusations of the Israeli's acting like Nazis though, if there were any truth to that then almost every Western nation is similarly guilty. The simple fact is that Israel is a tiny nation completely surrounded by enemies who have and do actively fund and support a violent and inhuman resolution to their existence, who are, in effect, still attempting to finish the Nazi's "Final Solution".
They've tried a military solution a couple of times but a combination of their own innate corruption and incompetence with the innovation, strength and idealism of the Israelis has seen them well and truly slapped down.
A Zen master once said to me, "Do the opposite of whatever I tell you." So I didn't.
Any day with a smile in it is a good day
