Bookworm Room has an article about 1967 Israel that amply illustrates the changes in this country in the intervening years. Not merely in the attitude toward Israel but in general, even though the article is specifically about Israel.
When Herman Cain was interviewed* on Fox News Sunday he was asked about the so-called Palestinians "right of return" and in asking the question Chris Wallace phrased it "the people who were kicked out of the land in 1948" which is an obvious change in reporting since 1967. Noted in the 1967 article was this; "Israelis tried to induce the Arabs to stay. For this reason, the Israelis do not now accept responsibility for the Arab exodus." Nothing about being "kicked out" there.
*The excerpted part of the Herman Cain interview is only the section about the "right of return". If you haven't seen it all and want to, go here.
