shocking movie from Israel-UN cars used by palestinian terrorists-full coverage

Hmmmm? You don't seem to know a lot about the war yourself.
Egypt had kicked out the UN peacekeeping force from the buffer zone, amassed a huge, mixed Arab army on the Israeli border, geared it for war and stated that it's intention was to wipe Israel off the map.

I would suggest that you read this news report before making any other comment on the subject.

I've read that news report and many others so I think I can comment on the subject.

The CATO institute (regulars on Fox News), has complied a good article on the Six Day war and also the events leading up to it.

There were incidents between Israel and Syria early on in 1967.
The Israelis decided to cultivate the land between Israel and Syria, including land the Syrians claimed was property of the Arab farmers.

When the Israelis moved a tractor onto that land in April of '67, they were fired upon by the Syrians. Israel responded by flying 70 Israeli fighters over Syria, shooting down 6 Syrian planes.

Yitzhak Rabin, on May 11, said that "the moment is coming when we will march on Damascus to overthrow the Syrian Government, because it seems that only military operations can discourage the plans for a people's war with which they threaten us."

The Soviets told the Egyptians, that Israel had moved troops onto the Egyptian border. Gen. Ezer Weizmann admitted in 1972 that they had indeed moved tanks to the North after the downing of an aircraft.
In response, on May 14, the Egyptians moved troops into Sinai.

Egypt asked the UN to leave that area after the buildup of troops. The UN offered to move to the Israeli side of the border but the Israelis refused.

Here's an excerpt from the CATO article on the events that followed:

Six Day war
Despite a blizzard of diplomatic activity in and outside the United Nations, tensions rose over the next days, until, on June 5, Israel attacked Egypt--thereby launching what came to be known as the Six-Day War. (The Israeli government told the UN Truce Supervision Organization that its planes had intercepted Egyptian planes--a patent falsehood.) In short order, Israel destroyed the air forces of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq. Israel prepared a letter to President Johnson assuring him that Israel, in the shorthand of U.S. ambassador Walworth Barbour, "has no, repeat no, intention [of] taking advantage of [the] situation to enlarge its territory, [and] hopes peace can be restored within present boundaries."(114) But that soon changed, as signaled by a request from David Brody, director of the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League, that Johnson not mention "territorial integrity" in his public statements about the war.(115)

On June 8, Egypt, having lost the Sinai to Israel, accepted the cease-fire called for by the United Nations. The next day Syria also accepted it, but Israel launched additional offensive operations. By June 10 Israel controlled the Sinai, the Gaza Strip, Sharm el-Sheikh, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, and its capital city of Quneitra.(116) With the road to Damascus open, the Soviets threatened intervention if Israel did not stop. The Johnson administration signaled its readiness to confront the Soviets by turning the Sixth Fleet toward Syria. That was to be the first of two near-confrontations between the United States and the Soviet Union in Arab-Israeli wars. Then, according to Johnson, the U.S. government began to use "every diplomatic resource" to persuade Israel to conclude a cease-fire with Syria, which it did on June 10.(117)

Every chance you get AceOfBase you criticise Israel and praise Arafat. It's unbelievable how you can't see the difference between a suicide bomber killing kids in a disco and a Muslim kid getting killed in a crossfire.

I have not praised Arafat.
I only point out that the conflict is not completely one-sided.

I also wanted to point out some events people may not have known about that occured prior to the Six Day war.

Ok then you do see the difference between a suicide bomber killing kids in a disco and a Muslim kid getting killed in a crossfire? You're not complaing about Israel humiliating the Muslims in only six days are you? It sure is odd that a tiny nation like Israel can repeatedly destroy the armies of multiple Muslim nations. It's almost as if there is a higher power somewhere..............dare I say helping Israel?




US is not the higher power

See the story on ATSNN. Isreal has admitted it may have made a mistake on this one.

Before I confirm veracity of joke, I'd like to know why you think that could be racist, or anti-Semetic.

Not just that phrase but the whole post.

HAHA your hopeless. I will cease trying to get through to you! Conversation ended..........

Wow, if that's trying I'd love to see when you don't try.

"You're whole post is racist."

"What part."

"The whole thing."

"Why?"

"You're hopeless."

Ok.

Just so you can get some bearing, here's some racism:



Now tell me how my post was racist.
