Oh, i'm sorry, i didn't know that those poor innocent Arabs were so oppressed by those evil Israeli's. Nice historical facts you have there Skunk, but aren't you forgetting something ? You're taklking about the sixties, but do you remember the first years of the state of Israel ? When they were invaded by the combined forces of no less than 6 Arab nations. Egypt, Syria, Transjordan (later Jordan), Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. In addition, local Arab Palestinian forces also fought the Israelis.

I'd say that must have given them a feeling they were not very welcome in the region, don't you think ? If the israeli's are coming down hard on the Arabs, they have brought it on themselves. They were the ones who opened fire, the Israeli's only returned the favour.
