The pre-1967 borders were restored after the 1967 cease fire? That doesn't even make sense.

How the heck did they give the Sinai back to Egypt if Israel never took it over? Sorry, but although it was no walk in the park, Israel beat the crap out of its opponents and wound up "owning" (or, if it makes you feel better, "occupying") the West Bank, the Golan Heights, and the huge Sinai Peninsula, which for the record, Israel got more productive use out of than Egypt had for thousands of years.

        The current conflict is because the Cease Fires of 1967 and 1973 did not restore the borders. (n/t) - ebnelson - 5/10/2002 4:08:18 PM
