After Israel won the 1967 Six Day War and gained control over all of Jerusalem and the entire west bank of the Jordan river, it set out to distinguish between East Jerusalem - held until then by Jordan - and the rest of the West Bank. East Jerusalem was annexed by Israel and its Palestinian population given residency status, granting them health and social services benefits similar to citizens. Th...

Soon enough it turned out that this analogy is too simplistic, because even between the major rounds of 1956, ‘67, ‘73 and ‘82 there were skirm...
