4. As far as Oslo, Arafat had two faces

and ask where the millions of dollars that belong to the Palestinians went that he had under his control?

The Suez Canal crisis was "started by the Israellis", really? Why did Egypt close the Suez Canal to Israeli shipping in spite of the UN telling it not to? Why was Nasser importing arms from the soviets, perhaps to confront Israel. Nasser trained and equiped fighters to attack Israel, and he did it from bases in Jordan, so Jordan would bear the brunt of Israel's retaliation. Those attacks violated the armistice agreementment, yet it was Israel that was condemend by the UN for its counterattacks

Egypt made it very clear that he wanted the destruction of Israel, and signed and agreement with Syria and Jordan placing Egypt in charge of those armies.

When the fadayeen continue their attacks against Israel, and the Suez Canal was still blocked to Israeli shipping, Israel attacked Egypt with the SUPPORT of Britain and France

To imply that the Israel attacked without provocation is a distortion of history and the facts
