Bruce,
The West Bank and Gaza were taken by Isreal when they were attacked in concert by four countries. They also took the Sinai peninsula from the Egyptians, who attacked them from that location. They also took the Golon Heights from the Syrians, who attacked them from that location. The West Bank was taken from Jordan, who used that spot to launch their attack. Gaza was a set aside for the 20,000 or so displaced Palestinians, and they feebly tried to attack Israel from there. When the war was over, in 7 days, the international community went to work condemning Israel with your countless resolutions. The UN was as useless then as it is today.
By the way, Gaza is presently occupied by the Palestinians.
