benjamin netanyahu 28 years old
In a remarkable video from 1978, 28 year old MIT grad Benjamin Netanyahu debates whether there should be a Palestinian state created on the West Bank and Gaza. Netanyahu argues that such a state would have but one goal: to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. He reviews the history from 1948 to 1967, when Gaza was controlled by Egypt and the West Bank by Jordan and there were no calls to end the occupation, or for national sovereignty for the Palestinians.
But one thing was similar in that period and today: terror attacks against Israeli Jews. Netanyahu went by the name of Benjamin Nitay at the time. His brother, Yonatan was an Israeli commando who led the Entebbe raid on July 4, 1976 during which he died. Netanyahu chose to use the name Nitay at MIT, where he was one year behind me, in large part for security reasons due to his brother's notoriety and the spate of Palestinian terror attacks aimed at Israelis all over the world.

There has NEVER been an arab state in Israel. Ther have, however, been 2 Jewish states BEFORE the first arab has ever set foot in Israel in the 7th century and occupied it.
In 1948 the British ruled in Israel (they conquered it from the turkish who conqued it from other nations going back to the Babylonians who took it from the Jews and ruined the first temple.) and the british agreed and signed together with the UN that they will give the Jews the land to build a state.
