LostInSpace Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Video: CNN: Jimmy Carter accused of distorting history Am I mistaking when I thought that the territory the Israelies occupy was won during the Arab-Israeli war when Egypt, Syria, jordan, Lebanon and Iraq and others attacked the newly established State of Israel which they refused to recognize.

Guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 No LIS, you are not mistaken, the Arab States attacked Israel and Israel kicked their little sorry butts in 6 days, and took land from them in order to insure it's security. They have been giving it back in exchange for peace, the only country that does not have it's original lands back is Syria, the rest of the countries have made peace with Israel, and therefore gotten the land back.

v01i0 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Jag, it was Israel that attacked Egypt first(because Egypt had banned Israeli ships from Straits of Tiran) , which started 6 day war. But I don't think that was the war in which LostInSpace referred to.. I think he meant the war right after Israel's independece was declared at 1948. -v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
