Did the Israelis occupy the Palestinian West Bank or didn't they?
Surely the clue is in the name- 'The Six-Day War'.

..it was my understanding that the Jews were just reclaiming their ancient lands from the arab squatters who had settled on them...
..If the Jews were to leave, that region would probably revert back into a filthy wasteland. Islam would see to that..
@ POS- I don't think you can really use that comparison though [American Indians].The Jews have turned it into a modern country and have developed the land. I would say it is theirs..
Don't worry yourself POS, the native americans are making out like bandits taking all the white man's money in their casinos and bingo parlors...
Now that's living...and not off the land either...
Yeah they didn't have much in those days, just great unspoilt forests, mountains, rivers and plains, plus the freedom to roam over them..
"Oh, Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me, I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have
made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have
hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my Spirit may come to you without shame"
-(translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887)
