I am correct on nation and state and you obviously chose not to read a single thing I posted. Palestine never existed. Never. Read the quote I took below. If you actually have a reason why it existed or any fact, please let us know Arya. If you don't, then don't tell me you're right and I'm wrong - this is not a matter of opinion but pure indisputable FACT.
Russel the difference between 1966 is that the land was in the posession of Jordan and Egypt and in 1968 the land was in the posession of Israel. Again, NEVER in the posession of "Palestinians" or called "Palestine". Palestine never existed.
To quote a UChicago scholar:
In fact, in 1922 Great Britain unilaterally severed what is now Jordan from the original Mandate Palestine that was to become the “Jewish national home.” In 1947 the UN further partitioned the land west of the Jordan River into a Jewish and an Arab state (before the term Palestinian was applied to the Arabs who lived there). The Arabs, joined by neighboring Arab states, waged war against the new State of Israel and lost all the land within the so-called Green Line. The so-called West Bank and Gaza were controlled by Jordan and Egypt respectively, but they never created an independent Arab state in those areas. The Jordanian annexation of the West Bank was never recognized by the nations of the world, except for Great Britain and Pakistan. It never belonged to the local Arabs.
In 1967 Israel defeated its Arab neighbors, who again tried to destroy Israel, and occupied the West Bank and Gaza (the biblical Judea, Samaria, and Gaza). According to international law, the land reverted to its mandate status. Again, it never belonged to the local Arabs, now called Palestinians.
Unfortunately, many otherwise educated and intelligent people have little patience for, or knowledge of, history.
