The British proved to be prescient. Neither Egypt nor Jordan ever allowed Palestinian self-determination in the parts of Palestine conquered by them during the 1948-49 war. Indeed, even UN Security Council Resolution 242, which after the Six-Day War of 1967 established the principle of "land for peace" as the cornerstone of future Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, did not envisage the creation of a Palestinian state. To the contrary: since the Palestinians were still not viewed as a distinct nation, it was assumed that any territories evacuated by Israel would be returned to their pre-1967 Arab occupiers. At this time–the late 1960s– Palestinian nationhood was rejected by the entire international community, including the Western democracies, the Soviet Union (the foremost supporter of radical Arabism), and the Arab world itself. It should be recalled, first of all, that this occupation did not come about as a consequence of some grand expansionist design, but rather was incidental to Israel’s success against a pan-Arab attempt to destroy it. Israel unexpectedly found itself in control of some one million Palestinians, with no concrete policy for their administration. Within a brief period Israeli occupation led to dramatic improvements in general well-being, placing the population of the territories ahead of most of their Arab neighbours. In the economic sphere, most of this progress was the result of access to the far larger and more advanced Israeli economy: the number of Palestinians working in Israel rose from zero in 1967 to 66,000 in 1975 and 109,000 by 1986. During the 1970s, the West Bank and Gaza constituted the fourth fastest-growing economy in the world–ahead of such "wonders" as Singapore, Hong Kong, and Korea. Although GNP per capita grew somewhat more slowly, the rate was still high by international standards, with per-capita GNP expanding tenfold between 1968 and 1991 from US$ 165 to US$1,715 (compared with Jordan’s US$1,050, Egypt’s US$600, Turkey’s US$1,630, and Tunisia’s US$1,440). Israel's medical programs in the Palestinian territories greatly improved longevity and infant mortality rates Mortality rates in the West Bank and Gaza fell by more than two-thirds between 1970 and 1990, while life expectancy rose from 48 years in 1967 to 72 in 2000 (compared with an average of 68 years for all the countries of the Middle East and North Africa). Israeli medical programs reduced the infant-mortality rate of 60 per 1,000 live births in 1968 to 15 per 1,000 in 2000. No less remarkable were advances in the Palestinians’ standard of living. By 1986, 92.8 percent of the population in the West Bank and Gaza had electricity around the clock, as compared to 20.5 percent in 1967; 85 percent had running water in dwellings, as compared to 16 percent in 1967; 83.5 percent had electric or gas ranges for cooking, as compared to 4 percent in 1967; and so on. Perhaps most strikingly, during the two decades preceding the intifada of the late 1980s, the number of schoolchildren in the territories grew by 102 percent, though the population itself had grown by only 28 percent. Even more dramatic was the progress in higher education. At the time of the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, not a single university existed in these territories. By the early 1990s, there were seven such institutions, boasting some 16,500 students. Illiteracy rates dropped to 14 percent of adults, compared with 69 per cent in Morocco, 61 percent in Egypt, and 44 percent in Syria.

Sorry, my brothers, it was not archangel Gabriel... Now we must burn in Saqar with Hinduists, Buddhists and other idolaters. Christians are right. I am sorry but names of my Moslem brothers are not written in the Lamb's book of life... Oh, so many Americans, Jews, Czechs and other people will be saved but just a very small minority of Arabs! Oh, my brothers, God's name is YHWH, not Allah: Yeshua Hannotzri Umelech Hayyehudim = Jesus from Nazareth, King of the Jews! Turn to Him and be saved! Look at the picture on http://www.volny.cz/sztemon/jesvmoh.htm
