A war broke out in which the Jews expanded their borders and the Arab nation of Palestine was absorbed by Jordan. Hostility between the Arabs and Jews continued and in 1967 Israel conquered the West Bank from Jordan, taking the bulk of the Jewish land that had been the "Palestinian state". UN resolution 242 called for the Israeli removal from that land, but it did not occur. Attempts to hold Israel accountable were vetoed in the Security Council by the United States. Although the land was part of Jordan, Jordan relinquished its rights in the 1980s telling the Israelis to speak with the Palestinian Arabs directly. The so-called 1967 Israel borders have no basis in fact, history, or even popular support among ordinary “Palestinian” residents. What most people call the 1967 Israel borders is really a cease-fire line (armistice) dating back to 1949; the armistice agreement was never a permanent treaty between Israel and any Arab country. <ref> [http://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2011/05/21/talk/1967-israel-borders-have-no-basis/ 1967 Israel borders have no basis.] </ref>
