Territory cannot legally be acquired by war itself. But the following Armistices or Treaties provide can provide new legal political borders. That's what happened in this case.
The Palestinians, not being recognized as a nation-state, largely had their fate decided by Jordan, Egypt, Lebonon, and Syria following the Arab-Israeli War.
Israel forced these Arab countries in submission, but they officially sanctioned the loss of "Palestinian" land.
Why do the Palestinians not complain about or attack these 4 Arab countries who, through signing the armistice, basically sold the land out from under the Palestinian people in order to provide benefits and safety for their own countries?
