Too many falsehoods peddled about Israel and the Palestinians

Jack O’Neill (Irish Examiner, September 26) displays an ignorance of factual history.

The Palestinians and their apologists are fond of quoting UN resolutions that suit them but not fond on following them through. Mr O’Neill mentions UN resolution 194 that provided for the creation of a Jewish and a Palestinian state.

Yet he implies that the fact that Palestinian state never came to be is because of Israel when he should know that in 1948 Gaza was annexed by Egypt and the West Bank by Jordan. So why is it there wasn’t a beep out of the Arab world about that occupation and that it was only when Israel took control of those lands following its victory in the Six-Day War that the problem starts?
