(96,523 posts)1. The Guardian, and much of the MSM, conveniently leave out that in 1967 Israel offered to return
essentially ALL the territory it captured in the 6 day war, Judea and Samaria, Gaza and the Golan Heights IF the Arabs would only agree to peace. Instead, The Arab League summit In Khartoum responded with its famous Khartoum Resolution, known as the "three No's. No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel.

The distortion and ignorance of history, by members of the media is astounding
