The opening as it read in 2005
Karameh (or simply Karameh ) is a town in Jordan , near the Allenby Bridge which spans the Jordan River , which defines the border with territory controlled by Israel .1In 1968 , when the city served as the political and military headquarters of the Palestinian al-Fatah movement, a significant battle occured there between the Israeli military and the Palestinian population of the city. The significance of that battle is subject to interpretation. Supporters of the Palistinians characterize it as an event in thich the heavily armed and technologically advanced Israeli military was rebuffed and forced to retreat, suffering a blow to their reputation while heartening the Palestinian resistence to Israel. Supporters of Israel characterize it as a succesful operation in which the number of " terrorists " killed outweighed the number of Israeli soldiers killed. A third view has been expressed that the battle was "a conflict with limited military importance" which has since been blown up and exaggerated to an almost mythological level by both sides.2
