re: #6 Bob Levin

Thanks for pointing out that second article as well as the differences. I’ve been using Wikipedia for general info, the following footnotes and Googling around for other resources, preferably first-hand accounts by people that were either involved or present as observers. Objective observers would be great, but I figure they would be hard to come by given the different stakes the various parties had in the outcome being to their advantage.

Now, why would the Arab League and the UN grant representation to a terrorist organization, when there was already a country that could claim full, legitimate sovereignty over the West Bank? Why would they turn the West Bank into a no-man’s land?

I have no idea. Do you have a hypothesis?
