Let's see, in 1967, as in 1948 and in 1973, Israel's neighbors attacked the country in an attempt to wipe it off the map. The various Arab states that fought Israel lost the war and lost territory during the fighting. Israel would have no problem giving back the land if it weren't for the fact the borders prior to the 1967 war were not defensible, as proven by the fact the Arabs were able to start said war. The 1967 war also gave Israel control of the Old City of Jerusalem, home to the holiest sides in Judaism. Although the Jordanians were required by the armistice agreement ending the War of Independence in 1948 to grant access to the Old City for adherents of all faiths, they did not do so. Today, Jerusalem is open to visitors of all faiths who wish to visit their religious holy sites. However, in the immediate aftermath of the 1967 war, Israel did NOT annex the West Bank, hoping to reach a peace agreement with the Arabs. Israel also immediately turned over the Temple Mount to the waqf, which isn't exactly a sign that Israel planned for this to be drawn out over 40+ years.Although the Arabs have lost each war they have started with Israel, they seem intent upon reclaiming the land they lost each time. A better solution would have been to not declare war and to accept Israel's existence. More recently, they have resorted to terrorism in various forms and many innocent Israelis have been killed as a result of such attacks. These terrorist operations have been authorized and supported by the PLO and PA on many occasions. You are highly encouraged to read more about this yourself. I shouldn't have to answer such questions, especially because many of us understand exactly what you are saying vis a vis Israel, even if you yourself do not. |
