Reader comment on item: Netanyahu's Quiet Success
Submitted by Abdulkarim Al-Habsi (Oman), Sep 30, 2009 at 00:35
Quote
"Eastern Jerusalem, a territory legally part of Israel for nearly thirty years."
Unquote.
Legally on whose book? Israel invades and occupies a land, and then annex it, and all of a sudden it becomes "legally" theirs? This reminds me of German occupation of France.
Israeli occupation of the west bank including east Jerusalem is not recognized by a single country, except the occupying country, it will not last.

Daniel Pipes replies:
To remind you, Israel did not "invade and occupy" Jerusalem in 1967 but it defended itself from unprovoked attack. Big difference.
As for the future, we shall see.
