And the occupied territories were conquered in the 1967 war which Israel started (in response to provocation to be sure).James B.

That was the year Sam Houston caught General De Santa Anna and his army napping at Lynchberg Ferry and captured him and held him hostage and forced him to sign the treaty of Velasco thereby making Texas a sovereign republic.Rorschachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848860674369931761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-58282722925661220252011-05-22T22:31:44.286-06:002011-05-22T22:31:44.286-06:00You are correct that Israel have never made a simi...You are correct that Israel have never made a similar arrangement that it did with the Treaty of Guadulupe Hidalgo. But then again, Mexico also accepted the loss of the Southwest, and did not engage in regular warfare against the U.S. Had it done so, I suspect that conditions would have been unpleasant for the Hispanics living in the conquered territories.<br /><br />One other difference: the U.S. intentionally provoked the Mexican War; Israel was attacked in the Yom Kippur War, and was not the aggressor.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-84892581135926094112011-05-22T22:18:35.575-06:002011-05-22T22:18:35.575-06:00According to wikipedia .

A few relocated further south in Mexico; the great majority remained in the U.S. Descendants of these Mexican families have risen to prominence in American life, such as United States Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, and his brother, U.S. Rep. John Salazar, both from Colorado. </i><br /><br />The United States granted citizenship to the inhabitants of the territories it conquered. Israel did not and has never had any reasonable long term plan for dealing with the Palestinians.James B.
