That is my point: Israel not only has given back territory, they continue to be expected to give back more.
The original Adam Smith quote indicated no countries ever giving back conquered territories (Yes, I understand that Israel didn't exist when Smith lived.)
Never mind Israel, Canada. I am given to understand that England's occupation of British Palestine didn't exactly end voluntarily, but we were able to repatriate our Constitution absent a revolution or beheading of the monarch. (No, the Commonwealth doesn't count as "dominion.")

As Emily Litella(sp?) would say, "Never mind." ;-)
