(19,491 posts)There are too many errors to go over, but the most egregious is the description of 242. It most certainly did not order Israel to leave the occupied territories. It requires the two sides to reach a permanent settlement, which the Palestinian refuse to do, even today. In fact the Palestinian leadership has tacked on preconditions to talks, in violation of international law.
Describing the war of independence where the Arabs tried and failed to kill all the Jews as a civil war is just sickening and unethical journalism.
Jordan didn't offer administrative control in 1950, they fucking illegally annexed the West Bank, again completely illegal. Note that they didn't offer control to the Palestinians, which they could have up to 1967 when the Israelis LIBERATED the WB from the illegal Jordanian occupation and annexation.
