It was Nasser, the Egyptian President BEFORE the 67 War that made that threat. In addition the Arab Countries were assembling on Israel's border with increased military equipment and ordered the U . N out of the area . They initiated it , they don't get to call all the shots. So that part of your argument is bullshit .
There is nothing you can say that changes the fact that Israel shot first, attacked first and invaded first. And unless you are responding to an attack, or have a UNSC resolution backing you up, said attack is nothing more than "aggression", which, since WWII, is a war crime.
The only threats to Israel, are the ones it creates. In regards to the '67 war, what Israel was doing just before they officially sent their tanks into Egypt, was pretty fucked!
Here's a
"LETTER DATED 27 MAY 1967" to the UNSC complaining about several instances of Israeli aggression against its neighbors.
The following are but few illustrations of continued Israeli aggressive policy:
1. The Israel aggression against Om Rashrash (on the Red Sea) on 10 March 1949 and its annexation despite the adoption of the Security Council resolution on cease-fire and of the signature of the General Armistice Agreement.
2. The Israeli armed aggression against the demilitarized zone of El Ouga and its occupation by force in violation of the Egyptian-Israeli Armistice Agreement, the expulsion of the United Nations observers, the lowering of the United Nations flag and the expulsion by force of its original inhabitants, i.e., the Palestinian Azazma tribes.
3. Ben Gurion's declaration that the Egyptian-Israeli Armistice Agreement is "dead and buried" after the Israeli aggression in 1956.
4. The repeated Israeli armed aggression against Jordan and its recent aggression on the village of El Samouh.
5. The Israeli attempts to change the international status of Jerusalem in violation of the resolutions of the United Nations.
6. The Israeli aggression against the water projects in Syria utilizing Israeli Air Force.
7. The repeated Israeli aggression on the demilitarized zones specified in the Syrian-Israeli General Armistice Agreement.
8. The continued Israeli threat and the recent Israeli mobilization of its forces during the current month of May in preparation for the invasion of Syria as confirmed in the report of the Secretary-General to the Security Council on 19 May 1967, document 5/7896.
When you see that shit Israel was doing at that time, Nassar's threat is understandable. After repeated acts of aggression by the Israeli's, it was only a matter of time before someone stood up and said,
"Enough! If you don't stop this bullshit, we'll put a stop to it for you!"
You fuckers think you can go around and shoot whomever you fuckin' please? **** you! You assholes don't deserve a country! You're no different than the nazis.
What Israel does not have to do; what they will not do is give in to all of Abbas demands. Olmert offered Abbas almost everything he wanted and it was rejected. When two or more parties " negotiate" about anything in life it's understood no oneis going to get their way 100 percent. Abbas refuses to do that so he will get nothing . BTW He is demanding land within the " 67 borders" linking Gaza and the W Bank and insisting the Palestinians have control over it .
Tell us why Abbas is. " entitled " to that land and what land Abbas is offering in exchange for it .Just name one thing they are doing to " negotiate "lol
Listen, you can take Abbas and the Palestinian's completly out of the equation. Just for the sake of argument, let's say they don't exist. There are no Palestinian's in Palestine. All arabs are cleansed from the area. No arabs are there. They're all in Jordan and Egypt, just like you wanted. Are you still with me?
Now, even if there are no arabs in Palestine........ Gaza, the West Bank, Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, are still not part of Israel! Israel has no sovereignty over that land. It doesn't matter who's there. The only thing that matters, is that land isn't Israel's and it will never be Israel's. You fuckin' got that? It didn't work for the nazis a half-century ago and it won't work for you fuckers now.
Just using some of your examples; The Arabs initiated the 56 War so the " Armistice " was a joke. It never existed
http://Click here: The Suez War of 1956
In the fall of 1948, the UN Security Council called on Israel and the Arab states to negotiate armistice agreements. Egypt agreed, but only after Israel had routed its army and driven to El Arish in the Sinai. At that time, the British were ready to defend Egypt under an Anglo-Egyptian treaty. Rather than accept the humiliation of British assistance, however, the Egyptians met the Israelis at Rhodes.
UN mediator Ralph Bunche brought them together at the conference table and was later honored with a Nobel Peace Prize. He warned that any delegation that walked out of the negotiations would be blamed for their breakdown.
By the summer of 1949, armistice agreements had been negotiated between Israel and Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Iraq, which had also fought against Israel, refused to follow suit. Bunche succeeded at Rhodes because he insisted on direct bilateral talks between Israel and each Arab state.
Meanwhile, on December 11, 1948, the General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on the parties to negotiate peace and creating a Palestine Conciliation Commission (PCC), which consisted of the United States, France and Turkey. All Arab delegations voted against it.
After 1949, the Arabs insisted that Israel accept the borders in the 1947 partition resolution and repatriate the Palestinian refugees before they would negotiate an end to the war they had initiated. This was a novel approach that they would use after subsequent defeats: the doctrine of the limited-liability war. Under this theory, an aggressor may reject a compromise settlement and gamble on war to win everything in the comfortable knowledge that, even if he fails, he may insist on reinstating the status quo ante.
Egypt had maintained its state of belligerency with Israel after the armistice agreement was signed. The first manifestation of this was the closing of the Suez Canal to Israeli shipping. On August 9, 1949, the UN Mixed Armistice Commission upheld Israel's complaint that Egypt was illegally blocking the canal. UN negotiator Ralph Bunche declared: "There should be free movement for legitimate shipping and no vestiges of the wartime blockade should be allowed to remain, as they are inconsistent with both the letter and the spirit of the armistice agreements."
On September 1, 1951, the Security Council ordered Egypt to open the Canal to Israeli shipping. Egypt refused to comply.
The Egyptian Foreign Minister, Muhammad Salah al-Din, said early in 1954:
The Arab people will not be embarrassed to declare: We shall not be satisfied except by the final obliteration of Israel from the map of the Middle East (Al-Misri, April 12, 1954).
A New Type of Warfare
In 1955, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser began to import arms from the Soviet Bloc to build his arsenal for the confrontation with Israel. In the short-term, however, he employed a new tactic to prosecute Egypt's war with Israel. He announced it on August 31, 1955:
Egypt has decided to dispatch her heroes, the disciples of Pharaoh and the sons of Islam and they will cleanse the land of Palestine....There will be no peace on Israel's border because we demand vengeance, and vengeance is Israel's death.
These “heroes” were Arab terrorists, or fedayeen, trained and equipped by Egyptian Intelligence to engage in hostile action on the border and infiltrate Israel to commit acts of sabotage and murder. The fedayeen operated mainly from bases in Jordan, so that Jordan would bear the brunt of Israel's retaliation, which inevitably followed. The terrorist attacks violated the armistice agreement provision that prohibited the initiation of hostilities by paramilitary forces; nevertheless, it was Israel that was condemned by the UN Security Council for its counterattacks.
The escalation continued with the Egyptian blockade of the Straits of Tiran, and Nasser's nationalization of the Suez Canal in July 1956. On October 14, Nasser made clear his intent:
I am not solely fighting against Israel itself. My task is to deliver the Arab world from destruction through Israel's intrigue, which has its roots abroad. Our hatred is very strong. There is no sense in talking about peace with Israel. There is not even the smallest place for negotiations.
Less than two weeks later, on October 25, Egypt signed a tripartite agreement with Syria and Jordan placing Nasser in command of all three armies.
The continued blockade of the Suez Canal and Gulf of Aqaba to Israeli shipping, combined with the increased fedayeen attacks and the bellicosity of recent Arab statements, prompted Israel, with the backing of Britain and France, to attack Egypt on October 29, 1956.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Abba Eban explained the provocations to the Security Council on October 30:
During the six years during which this belligerency has operated in violation of the Armistice Agreement there have occurred 1,843 cases of armed robbery and theft, 1,339 cases of armed clashes with Egyptian armed forces, 435 cases of incursion from Egyptian controlled territory, 172 cases of sabotage perpetrated by Egyptian military units and fedayeen in Israel. As a result of these actions of Egyptian hostility within Israel, 364 Israelis were wounded and 101 killed. In 1956 alone, as a result of this aspect of Egyptian aggression, 28 Israelis were killed and 127 wounded.
One reason these raids were so intolerable for Israel was that the country had chosen to create a relatively small standing army and to rely primarily on reserves in the event of war. This meant that Israel had a small force to fight in an emergency, that threats provoking the mobilization of reserves could virtually paralyze the country, and that an enemy's initial thrust would have to be withstood long enough to complete the mobilization.
Great Power Collusion
http://Click here: ISRAEL-SYRIA NEGOTIATIONS: THE ISSUES
Between 1948-1967, Syria used the Golan Heights as a launch pad for sniper attacks and shelling of Israeli towns below the Heights. Besides being long considered of key strategic importance militarily, the Golan is IsraelÂ’s key source of water. IsraelÂ’s northern water sources lie largely in the Golan, providing Israel with one-third of its water supply. Before 1967, Syria interfered with this crucial water supply.
It was Syria who interferred with Israel's water supply. " International Status of Jerusalem??" lol Is that the same as The U.N. declaring that Jordan give Israelis the right to enter E. Jerusalem to visit their Holy Sites and of course they refused???
Regarding your claim that Israel should have done nothing until they were attacked by Jordan, Syria, and Egypt is ignorant and stupid. Tell us why the U.N. was sent away. There is nothing you can say that will change those facts.
Like it or not; Israel will not go back to the " boundries" that the Arabs themselves have rejected and denies you Mother - ******! The Arabs have been trying to eliminate Israel since May 14, 1948 yet we are the Nazis with repeated agression?
Gaza isn't part of Israel. The W. BANK came from two Countries that INITIATED the WAR with Israel ! It's that simple.
Olmert offered Abbas almost everything he wanted . He turned it down he gets nothing. Still haven't told us why Abbas is entitled to any land within the " 67 Borders" and what he has offered. Think the Arabs can do whatever they want and Israel has to accept all conditions? **** YOU !!!!! They won't and NEVER WILL
is Hebrew for "fact", referring to the operation's objective to establish de facto Israeli sovereignty over the territory in question, rather than actually conquer it. As such, the Israeli forces did not meet significant resistance on their way. The region claimed during this operations is now referred to as Ovda.
