1967 Arab-Israeli War - part 1/6

The Six-Day War, also known as the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, the Third Arab-Israeli War, Six Days' War, an‑Naksah (The Setback), or the June War, was fought between Israel and Arab neighbors Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. The nations of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria also contributed troops and arms to the Arab forces.
In May 1967, Egypt's president Nasser expelled the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) from the Sinai Peninsula. The peacekeeping force had been stationed there since 1957, following a British-French-Israeli invasion which was launched during the Suez Crisis. Egypt amassed 1,000 tanks and nearly 100,000 soldiers on the border and closed the Straits of Tiran to all ships flying Israeli flags or carrying strategic materials, receiving strong support from other Arab countries. On June 5, 1967, Israel launched a pre-emptive attack against Egypt's airforce. Jordan, which had signed a mutual defence treaty with Egypt on May 30, then attacked western Jerusalem and Netanya. At the war's end, Israel had gained control of the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. The results of the war affect the geopolitics of the region to this day.

"The U.N. is not what it once was and the U.S.A. is the grand poopah",Say you.

You couldn't be more correct there!

The Grand 'Poopah', & it's "bag licking" followers, for no other reason than Greed, conducted a "Terrorist Attack" on Libya, murder at least 50,000, stole the estimated 150 tons of gold, & have not even been questioned on it.

Libya had just been elected(Democratically), to the 'Security Council' of the very Organization that attacked & destroyed it. "Grand Poop-ah", I say!

Israel tem todo o direito de defender o seu território contra as agressões dos muçulmanos nazis. Don´t mess with Israel!

[joschua78]

well I do understood your point of view, but Isreal were created in 1948 in land of Palestine. Before Palestine was Britsh protectorat, and they want Jews to created own state in Palestine. But lot of powerful Jews in US politcs and UN made possibility to create a state. At that time in Palestine were more Arabs then Jews. By another hand, from my point of view it is fault of Arabs, that they do almost nothing so protected ther teritory ..I personaly have nothing again Jews.

I do not agreed with you:'' Israel can bomb Syria anytime it fnds it necessary for its security.

Because bombing is ACT OF WAR

[cbradley1391]

"why wouldn't Syria have the right to bomb the US, for supplying every WMD that Israel is using & has used(& that's plenty)!"

they would if they could. if they had the oprotunity, they would jump at it in a heartbeat. we just denay them that oprotunity out of our own sence of survival.
