You're the won contesting clear and known history that doesn't even need a reference. Are you going to say now that it was America that attacked Japan in 1942?
Known history is that Israel started the 1967 war by doing a surprise attack on Egypt. Just because you're so uneducated to think otherwise, don't think you're on the side of settled history.
"The war began on June 5, 1967, when Israeli airplanes attacked the Egyptian air force and destroyed many airfields. Between June 5 and June 11, Israeli Defense Forces led onslaughts against Egyptian forces in Sinai and Gaza, and against the Jordanian military in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The conflict ended with significant battles against Syrian forces on the Golan Heights between June 9 and 10. By June 11, Israel controlled territory previously held by the Arabs in the Sinai, the Golan Heights, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem."
Egypt had been massing it's troops on the Israeli border leading Israel to believe it was in imminent danger of attack. Also, just prior to Egypt's military moves it entered into a defensive pact with Jordan.
Neither warrants a surprise invasion. Egypt can mass its troops wherever it wants in its land, just as Israel was doing. Both were arming their border. Israel fired the first shot

All of the settlers are Jewish. It's a quasi religious-cult movement at this point.
As opposed to what Hamas says in its charter?

Quote:
"The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [Holy Possession] consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. No one can renounce it or any part, or abandon it or any part of it." (Article 11)
"Palestine is an Islamic land... Since this is the case, the Liberation of Palestine is an individual duty for every Moslem wherever he may be." (Article 13)
Quote:
[Peace] initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement... Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of Islam... There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility." (Article 13)

The Arab nations met in Morocco, in Sept 1965, to discuss their readiness for war with Israel, King Hassan had the meeting recorded and handed the intelligence over to the Israeli's. There is no question what the future held for Israel. So, they struck the first blow.
Yep, it's an occupation and no freedom at all, just like it was in Gaza. Israel keeps building illegal settlements on West Bank land. Pretty much to just take it over and kick everyone else out, or kill them all eventually. It's okay for Israel to do this kind of stuff, but nobody else around the world can of course.
However, the Israeli anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now warned: "Instead of building a future of hope, peace, and security, the Israeli government is paving the way for our destruction."
What are you talking about, as it goes on all the time. What do you think causes and results from the various wars, or even in more modern times what Russia did with Crimea and now other parts of the Ukraine?
As to what Israel is doing, while I certainly do not agree with everything they do, the words from that group "the Israeli government is paving the way for our destruction" is laced with irony and hypocrisy.
Most of the Muslim countries and certainly the radical Islamic groups (the "opposition" according to vegetable for brains Biden, as he called Hamas ) pledge to wipe Israel of the face of the earth.
So, while two wrongs do not make a right, Israel has the right to exist and survive.
The ME peace process is one of the most confounding problems our world faces, and when you see the video of both Israeli & Arab reporters asking their own respective people "can they live together in peace with each other, BOTH sides say no.
So what solution is possible with that mentality?
