As I said, annexing territory is not a fair way of gaining land NOW. The USA's manifest destiny, the French and British and Dutch colonies, the Russian/Japanese land issues -- all these came before the UN was established and virutally all nations agreed to honor each other's national sovereignty and territory boundaries.
Under modern bedrock internation law, it is a violation of sovereignty to attempt to take the land of another nation. This is the SINGLE reason the UN sanctioned the Gulf War -- Saddam broke this primary rule of international law when he invaded Kuwait. The incursion by Israel onto Palestinian lands is no different.
