Make up your mind.  First it was not a reason at all, now it did play
a part.

And your characterization of Zionist terrorism merely shows your
ignorance.  You should read your history books about King David Hotel,
the assassinations of Lord Moyne, Count Bernadotte, and many
significant Zionist terrorist actions in the 1929-1948 period.  Hardly
minor exceptions.

And here we see the image of arrogance.  World opinion be damned,
Israel took the Sinai from Egypt, and that's it.  Luckily Begin was
more flexible than you appear to be.  Answer me this:  How many Jews
lived in the Sinai in 1966?  Then tell me that it was the home of Israel.

Great quote.  I'll have to remember that catch-all reference when I
write my next term paper.  See footnote 3.
