Is it conquest to take back what was taken from you? Is it theft to
take back what was stolen from you?


What was stolen? Who took it? [ Palastinians]


I don't know. However I believe that the Palistinians believe that their land
was stolen from them and they want it back. Everyone seems to have a claim on
the Holy Land, and everyone believes that the other's claims are invalid.

I don't know which is right (and don't want to get into the specifics here).
The question stands as above - in theory, if some country conquers land, and
the conquered nation attempts to take it back, would you characterize this
attempt as an attempt at conquest?

Knowing how you are using the words helps avoid misunderstanding them.
