You are correct, except it was the Six Day War, not the Yom Kippur War. From 1949 to 1967 Jordan occupied the West Bank, and for 18 years nobody clamored for an independent Palestine there.
Funny that, huh?
Rummyfan - Thanks for the correction on “Yom Kippur War” being in 73. It was the “Six Day War” that was in 67.
Regarding Hasan identifying himself as “Palestinian” — Looks like that shows his ideology, because according to the reports I’ve read this morning, Hasan was born in Arlington, VA. Thus it looks like he decided ideology/ancestory meant more to him thus he listed himself as a “Palestinian” and not an American, which he was by birth.
It will be interesting to see an analysis of the mosques he attended, whether or not they were among those that preach Islam over all.
