  1. His Divine Shadow PLEASE correct these facts:

    Israel left South Lebanon in the 80s,  WRONG  , Israeli military withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000

    Hezbollah  claim to the Shebaa farms The Shebaa Farms  is a small area of land with disputed ownership located on the border between Lebanon and the Israeli controlled, disputed Golan Heights.


  2. The West Bank

    The Sinai Pennisula

    The Golan Heights, and last, but certainly most important,

    East Jerusalem.  

    East Jerusalem and the West Bank from Jordan--Co-control--Israelis/ Palestinians in the West Bank, Retained total control of a united Jerusalem, and pronounced it the Capital of Israel

    The Sinai Penninsula from Egypt--conceded to Egypt

    The Golan Heights from Syria--retained

  3. The Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula were captured from Egypt. The Sinai was returned to Egypt in the early 1980's, and Israel left Gaza in 2005. Currently it is controlled by Hamas.

    The West Bank, including East Jerusalem, was captured from Jordan. East Jerusalem was annexed to Israel. Israel also controls most of the West Bank, with some areas being controlled by the Palestinian Authority.

    The Golan Heights were captured from Syria. Israel annexed it and controls it to this day.

    Following the first Lebanon War in 1982, Israel controlled Southern Lebanon until it withdrew in May 2000. The last piece of territory still in dispute between Lebanon and Israel is the Shab'a Farms, at the foothills of the Golan Heights. The Lebanese claim it is Lebanese territory. Israel says it is part of the Golan Heights, and as such, was controlled by Syria rather than Lebanon before Israel occupied it.

  4. In 1967, Israel captured territory in its six-day war from Jordan, Egypt, and Syria, namely the West Bank, Gaza Strip/Sinai Penninsula, and the Golan Heights respectively.

    Today the Gaza Strip is an autonomous territory under the control of HAMAS while the West Bank is ruled by both Abbas's Fatah movement and the Israeli government, while Israel holds sway over the entirety of the Golan Heights.

    One unusual point of dispute is the claim over the last territory in this list.  Syria was the initial owner, but since then, Lebanon has laid claim to the territory.  This shift occurred shortly after Israel left South Lebanon in the 80s, primarily because the Hezbollah terrorist group would lose a motive respectable to the rest of the world if they didn't have some territory to fight over, so they laid claim to the Golan Heights.  The UN still recognizes it as Syrian territory, however.
