Document Summary
Week 8 the palestinian question (1967- present) In a sense, neither nasser nor the israelis wanted or needed a confrontation: nasser was bitter because of the jewish invasion of the sinai in 1956. He also resented their continued incursions onto his territory as israeli raids struck out at refugee camps that harbored terrorists: in retaliation nasser closed the gulf of aquba to the jews. He also started rattling his saber, threatening the jewish state with his soviet reconditioned army: whether provoked or not, the israelis struck first. This was against a un document, and they berried it: the 1967 war had several consequences. They and their countrymen in the occupied territories now became subject to draconian military rule. Second, the jews began to settle the conquered territory. Most of the settlers were foreigners: jews brought in from abroad or religious zionists intent on restoring biblical judea.
