Well, Jim, I'm sure you would.

In 1948, the Jordanians kicked every last Jew out of East Jerusalem and
the Old City.  They blew up the four major synagogues in the Old City.
They used gravestones from the Mount of Olives as paving stones.  And they
forbade any Jew from returning to the Old City.  Finally, they imposed the
death penalty on any Arab who sold land in Judea/Samaria/WB to a Jew.

Does that answer your question?
