Actually, both Steve and I are wrong. The PLO started in 1964, for the
purpose of taking over the state of Israel. When the other Arab nations
started massing their soldiers to join the PLO in the war, in 1967,
Israel finally fought back, and instead of the PLO counquering Israel,
Israel conquered the West Bank.
