An interesting read, even though obviously biased.

I don't know enough about the history behind the conflict to make any intelligent statements about it, only that it is sickening to watch the atrocities BOTH sides are committing.

I am curious though:

What were the boundaries set up for Israel in the 1947 plan, did Israel agree to these boundaries when they accepted the plan and were there any formal agreements put in place after the 1948 conflict confirming Israel's boundaries?

Who were the protaganists in the 1967 Six Day war and does this equate to Israel's attitude that "... the land, won in a defensive war, belonged to them"

As I say, I am curious - this is not an attempt to stir up an argument, especially if you are the moronic GUEST whose only purpose in life is to create trouble on this site.
