Israel's six day war was naked aggression

The plot was not exposed right away..

Its true.. I followed the provocations on BBC and Voice of America for years....... all through the 1950s.

 

All your post is a fantasy that you managed to articulate above...
THERE WAS NEVER AND I REPEAT NEVER A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER IN ISRAEL FIGHTING OUR FIGHT... Your fantasy and 'make believe' is childish, ignorant and intolerable...

Thanks... but I will not lower myself to your level and return the compliment.

 

Er, yes it was. It was thwarted after only a couple of bombings and within a month of the first incident.

Provocations on BOTH SIDES. or did you simply excuse the arab provocations as retaliation?

 

No intention of starting a war, except for all the rhetoric and actions he took leading up to it.

Nasser gambled that Israel would not go to war because of his machinations but history has shown he lost that bet, and lost badly.

 

Ahh, Mister Bender, I was a 16 y/o at the time with an eye on having to go into the military fairly soon,and America's bigger military interest at the time was VietNam, not Israel and its 6 day war. Trust me.

I have a very good memory and I can tell you, people were upset at Lyndon Johnson because he diverted troops headed to VietNam to go into Israel and help the Israelis cleanse the Palestinians.

I also had a cousin going into the army at the time and he wondered if he would be sent to Israel.

In short, it is not a myth, its not my memory, It truly happened, and US troops were there until October.

I know Israel's policy of never allowing US military to land in Israel, but they sure made an exception of that in 1967.

 

So now Moshe Dayan is wrong and you're right? Just because you say so.

 

Diogenes, your post truly interests me. Until reading this thread I was completely unaware that the US committed troops to fight on behalf of Israel. It makes sense. They sent enormous amounts of war material, so why not combat forces too. But I've never come across this before. Are you aware of any credible written sources that have covered this? I don't doubt you but I would like to acquire a more detailed insight into this.

 

If you were young then... you must have been still digesting 'peanut butter'... and it seems now obvious you have not yet finished your meal.
I am an Israeli, I live here and participated in three wars... I never seen or heard of any Americans in Israel during that time... I think you are still digesting...

Now you are regurgitating your childhood 'peanut butter'... garbage.!!!
And BTW my family name is BENDOR so pay attention sonny!

don't know much about Dyan it seems.

Of course, I do understand there are those that when examining history choose to cherry pick only certain individual's perspectives and opinions, as tho they accurately represent the entirety of opinion/motivation/objectives of all involved.

Dyan was also an Israeli folk hero who screwed the pooch badly.

 

Seems you don't. You can't even spell his name properly and it's only 5 letters of the English language.

Cherry picking a statement by the Israel Minister of Defence who was in charge at the time of the Six-Day War is as good as it gets when it comes to factual history.

But the author of article didn't simply cherry pick Dayan did he. He also draws on minutes of British cabinet meetings, documents of the French and US governments and Russia's official archives from the time. He additionally interviewed "high government officials in Israel, the United States, Egypt, the Soviet Union, France and Britain" about the events that led to the Six-Day War. This included the head of Mossad at the time, General Meir Amit, who told the Americans that "Egypt was not poised to attack Israel."

Now if you wish to fly in the face of this accumulation of incontrovertible fact, by all means feel free to do so. You may also wish to cycle on the wrong side of a busy highway at rush hour with your eyes closed as you whistle Dixie too. That is also your choice.

Dare I articulate the thought that it is sheer idiocy in both cases?

There were NO US troops in Israel..........

 

Thanks for backing me up... This 'Diogenes Lantern' poster, reminds me of my school days when 'Diogenes of Sinope' was looking in ancient Greece for an honest man and could not find one, this is why the cynic's philosophy was derived from his writings...
