After reading the comments..Palestine wasn't occupied by Jordan , It subjected to the Jordanian Administration by virtue of UNGA resolution. For further information on this regard I advocate you to see The Creation Of States in International Law by James Crawford

@bash1160 it wasnot "occupied". It was part of the Jordanian Administartion in virtue of GA resolution endorsed by the Arabs. For more information I advice you to read The Creation of States in Internationa Law by Crowford

I really feel sorry for you if that's the kind of "true history" you want "rewritten." Look at how the Hamas-ruled people in Gaza are living, or the Hizbollah-ruled people in southern Lebanon, with missiles in the house. Is that how you think Arabs should be living?

"Palestine" was occupied by none other than Jordan from 1949-1967." Don't try to fake history , Learn true history not your fake zionist history you are trying to publicize here, by all means hizballah and hamas will rewrite the true history again.

Benjamin Orbach, most probably Jewish, curiously omits the name Israel though he visited all of the countries surrounding it. He also makes a point of mentioning a supposed entity called "Palestine", although such a state never existed. The territory reffered to as "Palestine" was occupied by none other than Jordan from 1949-1967.
