Subject: RE: BS: Palestinian 'facts'
I do not agree with the occupation of the west bank or the Israli settlements and I think that they should withdraw. However I was alive in '67 and that war was started by Egypt! If we are to mend fences we must look at historical facts with an unbiased eye. Your statement is simply untrue.

This is not true, Sandy. It was started by Israel. I was alive in 1967 also. Just because you hear something on the news doesn't make it true.

Most of the Palistinian refugees were Jordanian citizens and Jordan cut them loose. Nothing to be proud about from either side but Isreal should be allowed to exist!

This is also not true. They were originally from what is now Israel and Occupied Palestine.
