27. So once stolen by Arabs, always stolen?

Seriously, East Jerusalem was a mixed neighborhood for thousands of years -- until a pogrom in 1929 wherein Arab troops killed or expelled the Jewish families who had lived there for literally millennia.

Israel does lots of questionable things, but lying about "stealing Palestinian land" is not productive.

Must Spain, er, excuse me, Al-Andalus, cede land back to the Arabs that was reconquered during the middle ages?

How about Vienna?
