Keith, Jim might be informed about 67 and 73 but I don't need your education about the obvious propaganda that you spout. Mathilde Redmatn is not a credible witness in my book considering what has happened to the Red Cross in recent years. Your facts are suspect.

The Israeli attack on Syria, known as the six-day war was started by Israel and as a result, the PLO was formed as a reaction.   Israel had taken control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria.

The problem is that this war defined the borders surrounding Israel.

On November 22, 1967, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 242, the "land for peace" formula, which called for Israeli withdrawal "from territories occupied" in 1967 and "the termination of all claims or states of belligerency." Resolution 242 recognized the right of "every state in the area to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force."


That's not what happened. Israel violated the Resolution 242 and today refuses to go back to the '67 border agreement.

Khalil Hamada of Hamas is not accurate and has his own propaganda. Much of the goods that Israel purports to send to Gaza never reach their destination. In such a scenario, starvation must exist. There are those who may not be with Hamas leadership and are not privy to food and supplies. It is not reasonable to assume that with the depredation of the Palestinian people in Gaza, hunger doesn't exist, particularly when Israeli officials declare a "shoah" on it and continue the blockade on goods and services.
What do you think they mean when Israel officials say they want to put Palestinians "on a diet"?

As for the Yom Kippur War, Israel rejected Sadat's peace initiative which triggered an attack because Israel declined to return to the 1967 borders. You could say that '73 was an outcome of '67 which has shown Israel to have expansionist policies.

There is a blackout on news referring to present day living conditions in Gaza. You can't trust what information the general media says about this because it is weighed heavily in favor of Israeli propaganda.
