A: Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon. Israel after being attacked by arab neighbours - who told the palestinians to 'leave your houses' and that they would get the israelis land after all the 'jews are driven into the sea' - when the arabs lost, none of them wanted anything to do with palestinian refugees, save israel, who to this day are the only ones. Where are the palestinians' arab friends when they needed them? they only used them again and again for political gain - but your anger still remains pointed at israel.. funny how easy you are to manipulate Your feeble grasp of history and politics reeks of racism, hate and manipulation. Weak minded people always go first. |

AS if they would not have kept the territory if they had won. Losers whine. Don't want to lose? Don't start a fight you can't win. |

Actually, the IDF itself admitted that Israel started the 67 War with a sneak attack on Egypt's air force, catching the Egyyptian planes while they were all sitting on the ground. The War in the Air The Six-Day War started with a far-reaching air attack, code named Moked, to shatter the Arab air forces while their aircraft were still on the ground. The attack was planned even before General Mordechai (Moti) Hod, had been appointed Air Force Commander. The main element of the plan was to carry out a massive, simultaneous attack of Israeli first-line aircraft against all Egyptian air force bases - the main Arab air force. This required exact and detailed planning of departure times and approaches of each of the attacking forces, in order to ensure the element of surprise on every target. On the morning of June 5, the aircraft of the IAF took off from their bases and attacked Egyptian air force bases in Sinai and Egypt. During the first wave, eleven fields were hit (among them some that had also been attacked in the first wave).

So it's not MY grasp of history that's feeble. It's yours. Or maybe you're just stupid. Maybe you're just lying out of your ass. Not at all unusual for persons of your type. |
