And so it begins again

The rocket attacks I mean....I'm wondering if there'll ever be a lasting peace in the area.

I used to think that of Northern Irelans as well so there may still be a positive ending.

I think that's why a Palestinian state would never work. They'll pick a fight and get their butts kicked. I think they should pave that whole region and build a Disneyland on it. It would save a lot of fuss.

Until 1967 the West Bank was owned by Jordan.
No it wasn't.

His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom have been officially informed by the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan of the union of the Kingdom of Jordan and of that part of Palestine under Jordan occupation and control. The Jordan Government, in this communication, have stated that an Act providing for this union was unanimously adopted on 24th April by the Jordan Assembly, which is composed of representatives of both these territories, and received the Royal Assent on the same day. His Majesty's Government have decided to accord formal recognition to this union. They take this opportunity of declaring that they regard the provisions of the Anglo-Jordan Treaty of Alliance of 1948 as applicable to all the territory included in the union.


The second point relates to Jerusalem. The part of Palestine which is now united to the Kingdom of Jordan includes a portion of the area defined in the Resolution on the internationalisation of Jerusalem adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 9th December, 1949. His Majesty's Government wish to state that, pending a final determination of the status of this area, they are unable to recognise Jordan sovereignty over any part of it. They do, however, recognise that Jordan exercises de facto authority in the part occupied by her. They consider, therefore, that the Anglo-Jordan Treaty applies to this part, unless or until the United Nations shall have established effective authority there. His Majesty's Government's obligations under the Treaty are, of course, subject always to their overriding obligations under the United Nations Charter.

1. I've been wanting to say this for a long time. When you quote, please use the full quote function so we can see who you're quoting and don't have to guess.

2. Please don't be so cryptic. "No it wasn't" doesn't tell me where I'm wrong, and I like to learn where I'm wrong. Who did own the West Bank pre-1967?

From that thinking that would be great for Israel. Pave the whole region to build Mosques all over. Maybe the same for USA since its Israel's biggest ally, and Israel would get they're butts kicked if it wasn't for that 4 million dollars a day from AIPAC

A different perspective on the situation in the past, nothing else (yes one day "fresher" in time)
