Why 1948 and Not 1967 Asks Benny Begin

From Josh Hasten:-

...[Minister Benny] Begin makes an original point. If the Arabs living in Israel (including those in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza), truly became hostile as a result of the so-called “occupation,” then why is their “Nakba” or “devastation” marked annually on May 15th the date on which the State of Israel was established in 1948? Why don’t they commemorate he asks, their “Nakba” during the second week in June, marking the 1967 return of Jewish control over Judea, Samaria, Gaza, the Golan, and Jerusalem?

Actually, we've been pointing that out for decades.
