56. the settler movement was a big mistake, Ken

Edited on Sun May-10-09 07:00 PM by shira

but you're avoiding the point I'm trying to make. Going back to 1948 and before then, there are many "antizionists" who say that zionism 60-100 years ago was some smash-and-grab scheme WAY before 1967. Do you take issue with those folks?

As for after 1967, let's at least admit that had the Arab armies not started the 6-day war there wouldn't be an occupation/settlement issue to talk about, right? It's not as if Israel wanted the 1967 war in order to win land and start settling, right? In fact, Palestinians would still be under more brutal Jordanian and Egyptian control had Arab armies stayed put.
