Clearing Up the Lie that Israel Started the 6 Day War

[Hollie]

"the CIA assessed that Nasser’s military presence in the Sinai was defensive, stating that “Armored striking forces could breach the UAR’s double defense line in the Sinai in three to four days and drive the Egyptians west of the Suez Canal in seven to nine days. Israel could contain any attacks by Syria or Jordan during this period”

Neither U.S. nor Israeli intelligence assessed that there was any kind of serious threat of an Egyptian attack. On the contrary, both considered the possibility that Nasser might strike first as being extremely slim.

The current Israeli Ambassador to the U.S., Michael B. Oren, acknowledged in his book “Six Days of War“, widely regarded as the definitive account of the war, that “By all reports Israel received from the Americans, and according to its own intelligence, Nasser had no interest in bloodshed”.

Four days before Israel’s attack on Egypt, Helms met with a senior Israeli official who expressed Israel’s intent to go to war, and that the only reason it hadn’t already struck was because of efforts by the Johnson administration to restrain both sides to prevent a violent conflict.

“Helms interpreted the remarks as suggesting that Israel would attack very soon”, writes Robarge. He reported to Johnson “that Israel probably would start a war within a few days.”

Arab-Israeli War of 1967

Arab-Israeli War of 1967
On the morning of June 5, 1967, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egyptian forces in response to Egypt's closing of the Straits of Tiran. By June 11, the conflict had come to include Jordan and Syria. As a result of this conflict, Israel gained control over the Sinai peninsula, the Golan Heights, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. Israeli claims on these territories, and the question of the Palestinians stranded there, posed a long term challenge to Middle East diplomacy.

Adding that Jews were removed from Jerusalem by force in 1957 by Jordan.

The Jewish population was removed from the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem in 1948, not 1957. From that area as well as all of Judea and Samaria, in 1948.

Funny how you can never answer why Egypt removed the UN Peacekeepers, initiated war by violating international waters, and why Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria all had their armies massed on the border of Israel while publicly calling for the extermination of the Jewish people.

You are just a pathetic racist bigot who lives in the fantasy world of haters.

I present facts, you make things up. You people are the racist bigots. Every thing you have been brainwashed with is fantasy. There is source documentation from neutral parties that confirm that Israel started the war and wanted a war. You people are constantly trying to change history. It won't work.

Still waiting for evidence that Israel was threatening the sovereignty or integrity of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, and thus each of those nation's actions were defensive.

Me thinks you know when to surrender.

 

[montelatici]

The only fact is, Israel started the war. Can't you bozos ever resign yourselves to the facts. You are always pulling out some sort of rationalization. It's like the who cold cocks a passerby on the street and tells the police, well, "he reached in his pocket". It's still f_cking assault you clowns.

"At precisely 8 a.m. on June 5, 1967, virtually the entire Israeli air force streaked into Egyptian airspace simultaneously. Some aircraft entered from Israel's Negev desert to the east, some directly from major Israeli bases to the northeast, and hundreds from the Mediterranean to the north and northwest.......Today what is clear is that the Israelis wanted war, Egypt did not, the Soviets could have prevented it, and the Americans should have."

So no answer why Egypt removed the UN Peacekeepers, initiated war by violating international waters, and why Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria all had their armies massed on the border of Israel while publicly calling for the extermination of the Jewish people.
Thought so.

A preemptive strike. That's an effective strategy when Islamist armies are massed on your border, preparing to strike.

Another humiliating loss by your Arab-Islamist heroes.

No one is arguing against this. The argument is that it was a defensive strike against immanent aggression.

We're rationalizing? You've got to be kidding me. This from the guy who claims that Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq were only defending themselves from Israel's attack on their sovereignty and territorial integrity? Talk about a reversal of facts.

As far as the analogy about assault, if five goons approach you on the street brandishing knives and baseball bats while threatening to kill you -- you are absolutely within your rights to strike first in order to defend yourself from an immanent threat.

Like Israel said hey, we have no military support, let's attack 5 nations who outnumber us for the fun of it.
