More History Before 1967

[georgephillip]

"The Suez Crisis, also referred to as the Tripartite Aggression, Suez War, or Second Arab-Israeli War[13][14]... was a diplomatic and military confrontation in late 1956 between Egypt on one side, and Britain, France and Israel on the other, with the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations playing major roles in forcing Britain, France and Israel to withdraw.[15]"

"Less than a day after Israel invaded Egypt, Britain and France issued a joint ultimatum to Egypt and Israel, and then began to bomb Cairo. Despite the denials of the Israeli, British, and French governments, allegations began to emerge that the invasion of Egypt had been planned beforehand by the three powers.[18]

"Anglo-French forces withdrew before the end of the year, but Israeli forces remained until March 1957, prolonging the crisis. In April, the canal was fully reopened to shipping, but other repercussions followed."

How did the French reward their loyal Jewish Spartans?
Here's one possibility offered by a veteran of Israel's War of Independence:

"The French were struggling with the Algerian war for independence and believed that their real enemy was the Egyptian leader, Gamal Abd-al-Nasser. They got Israel to spearhead an attack to topple him. It was a complete failure.

"In my opinion, the war was a political disaster for Israel.

"It dug the abyss separating our new state from the Arab world.

"But the French showed their gratitude – they rewarded Peres with the atomic reactor in Dimona."

Blame the Greedy Zionists (again)

"The 1929 Palestine riots, also known as the Western Wall Uprising, the 1929 Massacres, (Hebrew: מאורעות תרפ"ט, Meora'ot Tarpat, lit.

"Events of 5689 Anno Mundi), or the Buraq Uprising (Arabic: ثورة البراق*), refers to a series of demonstrations and riots in late August 1929 when a long-running dispute between Muslims and Jews over access to the Western Wall in Jerusalem escalated into violence.

"The riots took the form in the most part of attacks by Arabs on Jews accompanied by destruction of Jewish property.

"During the week of riots from 23 to 29 August 133 Jews were killed by Arabs and 339 others were injured, while 110 Arabs were killed by British police and 232 were injured while the British were trying to suppress the riots.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

"The Shaw Commission found that the fundamental cause of the violence 'without which in our opinion disturbances either would not occurred or would not have been little more than a local riot, is the Arab feeling of animosity and hostility towards the Jews consequent upon the disappointment of their political and national aspirations and fear for their economic future.'[10]

"Avraham Sela described the riots as 'unprecedented in the history of the Arab-Jewish conflict in Palestine, in duration, geographical scope and direct damage to life and property.'"

Would you agree the '29 riots were "unprecedented in the history of the Arab-Jewish conflict in Palestine..?

Oh Georgie, you're always justifying violence perpetrated by the Palestinian Arabs ..

Israel's sincere flattery of Russia:

"The fight over the canal also laid the groundwork for the Six Day War in 1967 due to the lack of a peace settlement following the 1956 war.[299] The failure of the Anglo-French mission was also seen as a failure for the United States, since the western alliance had been weakened and the military response had ultimately achieved nothing.

"The Soviets got away with their violent suppression of the rebellion in Hungary, and were able to pose at the United Nations as a defender of small powers against imperialism..."

"The Soviet Union made major gains with regards to influence in the Middle East.[301] The American historian John Lewis Gaddis wrote about the aftermath of the crisis:

"'When the British-French-Israeli invasion forced them to choose, Eisenhower and Dulles came down, with instant decisiveness, on the side of the Egyptians.

"'They preferred alignment with Arab nationalism, even if it meant alienating pro-Israeli constituencies on the eve of a presidential election in the United States, even if it meant throwing the NATO alliance into its most divisive crisis yet, even if it meant risking whatever was left of the Anglo-American 'special relationship', even if it meant voting with the Soviet Union in the United Nations Security Council at a time when the Russians, themselves, were invading Hungary and crushing—far more brutally than anything that happened in Egypt—a rebellion against their own authority there.'"

Like they rewrote those armistice agreements.

 

[toastman]

lol

 

[Hyrcanus]

Yeah, like the terrorism committed by right-wing Zionists before 1949.

And the expulsion of Arabs from Israel after Israel was founded and won the war.

 

[toastman]

You mean the same Arabs who's so called Government took part in the effort to 'drive the Jews to the sea' and commit another genocide of the Jews, a mere 4 years after the Holocaust ended???

UN Resolution 181 gave 65% of the population (the Muslims and Christians) only 40% of the land.

That wasn't fair and the Arabs had a right to fight to defend their interests.

 

[toastman]

Ok, if you want to put it that way. But the fact of the matter is , the Arabs lost the war, and were humiliated by a rag tag Jewish Army.

The Jews had twice as many soldiers as the Arabs, and were armed with modern day fighter planes, tanks, and other weaponry.

 

[toastman]

Actually, the Arabs had a MUCH larger army, but only sent a fraction of them for combat.
Not to mention it was SIX, that's right, SIX Arab armies against one Jewish army.
Wow, such a fair fight !

Meanwhile Israel was desperate for America's help in 1967 and 1973.
