Did they, or did they respond to acts of war ?
they didn't... oh right.
unless you're a messed up jew-hating, terrorist supporting loser.
Poor Jillian old and ugly and toothless without her Neg. Reps;
Poor thing.
And did Israel react to acts of war, or not....................that is the question
Perceived acts of war are an excuse to invade or justify a sneak attack...Sure the Egyptians were pestering, they closed the straits but they did not fire a real shot and Israel set them up for a war they wanted to get E. Jerusalem...Israel's route to defeating the smaller Egyptian army which never had a chance of invading Israel...Even the Memoirs of Dayan and Begin admitted Israel started this war to essentially grab land from the Arabs...

Preemptive strike v. unjustified attack[edit]

Initially, both Egypt and Israel announced that they had been attacked by the other country. Gideon Rafael, the Israeli Ambassador to the UN, received a message from the Israeli foreign office: "inform immediately the President of the Sec. Co. that Israel is now engaged in repelling Egyptian land and air forces." At 3:10 am, Rafael woke ambassador
Hans Tabor, the Danish President of the Security Council for June, with the news that Egyptian forces had "moved against Israel" .
[1] and that Israel was responding to a "cowardly and treacherous" attack from Egypt…"
[2] At the Security Council meeting of June 5, both Israel and Egypt claimed to be repelling an invasion by the other,
[1] and "Israeli officials – Eban and Evron – swore that Egypt had fired first".
[3]
On June 5 Egypt, supported by the USSR, charged Israel with aggression. Israel claimed that Egypt had struck first, telling the council that “in the early hours of this morning Egyptian armoured columns moved in an offensive thrust against Israel’s borders. At the same time Egyptian planes took off from airfields in Sinai and struck out towards Israel. Egyptian artillery in the Gaza strip shelled the Israel villages of Kissufim, Nahal-Oz and Ein Hashelosha
..." In fact, this was not the case,[4] The US Office of Current Intelligence "...soon concluded that the Israelis – contrary to their claims – had fired first." [5] and it is known the war started by a surprise Israeli attack against Egypt's air forces that left its ground troops vulnerable to further Israeli air strikes.
