Because seizing another country's sovereign territory in war and claiming it for your own has been against international law since WWII, when the Axis powers set the standard for appropriating and occupying land of other nations. As I just reminded OtherMike, the US usually goes to war to stop that kind of thing. "Buffer zone" for the aggressor nation is not an acceptable reason for breaking an international law supposed to protect everyone.
Of course, you ignore that this war was started by the other side, with the intent to destroy the state of Israel (a goal still claimed by the current terror state of Iran). Hence you are flat out lying when you label Israel as the "aggressor nation". Comparing Israel to the Axis powers in this regard is peak disingenuous behavior from you. And I'm not a fan of Israel's foreign policy, at all.
