66. If you look at the map, you will note that the largest part of Transjordan
which was before the Mandate known as the British Protectorate and before that a part of the Ottoman Empire was made into Transjordan. Check out what happened in the 1967 war in that area. It was after that conflict that most of what we now view as Israel/West Bank/Gaza was divided as it now is.

Check the history. I have posted on this so many times that I am just tired of it. You can Google it like I did. The whole area was Transjordan. Israel was cut out of it. The Palestinians have plenty of room. Think of it, if you were six years old in 1949, you are now 67. I am 67, and I really don't remember what the neighborhood or house that I lived in when I was six was like. I have pictures, but I don't really remember it. If you dropped me down in front of the house I lived in at that age, I probably would not recognize it.
