How Quickly We Forget
ABC News White House correspondent Terry Moran apparently has a very short memory. While standing at the border crossing separating Gaza and Israel, he reported on the commencement of the disengagement, which began yesterday with the sealing off of the border and the distribution of evacuation notices to the remaining Israeli settlers. Apparently eager to feel himself witness to a historic event, Moran declared that this was the first time that Israel had ever given up territory conquered in war to the Palestinians as the basis of their future state.
Sorry Terry, you really don’t need to look back too far to see that this assertion is grossly false. Just over 10 years ago Israel began handing over all major Palestinian Arab population centers in the West Bank and Gaza to the Palestinian Authority.
