You are right - that the UN sees the area as occupied. The rule of war, for millennia, has been that if you win the battle, you take the land

The UN has a 'law' that the country that invaded first doesn"t get to keep the spoils. At the time, Israel had been blocked from receiving goods by the Suez canal and had Syria, Jordan, and Egypt armies on her borders, ready to go into Israel. Israel used the element of surprise to win.

Historically, the land would not be called 'occupied.'

You are also wrong - the emphasis that all this is Israel's fault is definitely increased by the liberal press. I read both the conservative and the liberal press, a d the liberal press has made it seem as if this was all Israel's fault.

I meant that the Arabs were not happy with Jewish purchases right from the start from Rabbis. May I ask you where you got the data that it was all live and roses from the beginning?
