Thank you Alouette, and thanks for the ping terilyn...That's a great resource for this thread and it helps me make my point imensely...

I've seen those maps before and they are what spurns my basic question...

Why aren't the Arabs complaining about the parts that Israel took (Rightly so due to defending themselves) featured in the "Armistice lines following 1948 War of Independence" map where they connected their three parts of land and captured a route into Jerusalem, and only complaining about getting the West Bank and Gaza back???

Or, is the question...

Why didn't Israel make it a point to FULLY capture the West Bank and Gaza (Rightly so due to defending themselves) the way they captured the land that conjoined their 3 small parts and created access to Jerusalem as pictured in the "Armistice lines following 1948 War of Independence" map???

Why is the West Bank and Gaza more of a simingly "Big Deal" than the original land Israel captured???

And...

Why do so few Israelis tell the world to go screw themselves, they're keeping the West Bank and Gaza because they rightfully won it (And need it for protection) after they were attacked. It seems Israel dances around saying they OWN the West Bank and Gaza...

Am I making more sense now??
