"Wasn't the West Bank originally allocated to Israel by the U.N. and then Jordan took it and Israel took it back? If so, then it is rightfully Israel's. Anyone know?"

This is one of those rare instances where FReepers will defend the UN to the last man.

Yeah, wouldn't it be great in a huge audience of liberals to shout out "It's time Israel got back to it's original borders!" And, after they shout agreement, pull out a map with Israel's original borders containing the West Bank. Not one in a hundred people seems to know this little tidbit of info. Some of the people involved want Israel to return to it's "pre-1967 border". That's why I checked it out to find out why they didn't say "original borders".
