        2) Israel started all of its major wars* (including 1948, by expelling 100,000s of Palestinians before Arab entered the fray in May 1948). This is because, far from being "okay with" partition, Israeli leaders differed only in their tactics for how to reject it:pic.twitter.com/g7uaNUYM47

        3) *only exception is 1973, when Egypt and Syria attacked the Sinai and Golan Heights -- i.e. not Israeli territory, but Egyptian and Syrian territory that Israel had attacked and occupied in 1967

        4) and yes, there have been "peace offers... to give part of that land back." But the key word is "part." Israel has only offered fragmented cantons that no Palestinian leader could ever accept. Here e.g. is former Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami: https://www.democracynow.org/shows/2006/2/14?autostart=true …pic.twitter.com/eKsVxqCdYQ

        5) re: 1967, where somehow we're supposed to not find anything suspicious about a supposedly "defensive" war that Israel launched resulting in it conquering long-coveted territory (West Bank, Gaza, Sinai, Golan Heights - quite the defense! 🤔), here are a few quotes:pic.twitter.com/cOEOl36EUX

        6) for some historical background, Norman Finkelstein goes through the history of 1967 in my interview w him here: http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=19230 … . And we discussed Gaza and Lebanon here: http://therealnews.com/t2/story:20855:Norman-Finkelstein-on-Gaza%27s-Martyrdom-%2814%29 …

        7) last thought: liberals who ignore or whitewash Israel’s crimes, past & present, are duly rewarded in US media-political culture. So those who do so, like Maher, have effectively decided that their privilege is more important than a Palestinian life, & actual Mideast peace.

        Um, we have the actual declassified Israeli security cabinet protocols from 1967 and they show the Israelis had no idea war was imminent, let alone were planning one. English summary:http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/234352/secret-transcripts-six-day-war-1 …
