Subject: RE: BS: Hamas rockets fired into Israel.
Did Jordan have a right to the West Bank? I can't say. But you seem to think that conquest confers all the rights necessary in that part of the world.

Not at all mousethief. Jordan had no right whatsoever to the West Bank or to any part of Jerusalem. It invaded and annexed them between 1948 and 1967, in that time they denied the rights of Palestinians (Jew & Arab). In 1967 Israel took the territory back from the Jordanians no rights are being denied that do not affect the security of Israeli citizens, Palestinian Arabs can settle anywhere as can Jews, it is the Palestinian Authority that is keeping people in camps where they have been imprisoned since 1948 - imprisoned first by Jordanians and now by their elected leaders.
