If I remember right, it was 3 Arab nations that had military lined up along Israel's borders in 1967, and was already shelling a non-military town near Galillee. Israel took a "pre-emptive" strike, before these Arab nations invaded (which they were publically threatening to do, including phrases such as "committing genocide on Israel) and beat the would-be invaders off in a lop-sided war that was called the 6 Days War.
The spoils of that war, taken by Israel, were the now disputed territories including the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights.
Typically, if you win territory in a war that you didn't start, you don't give it back. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, but those are the actual facts of history.
