>>Perhaps you should take a look at Moshe Dayan's autobiography for an explanation of the facts surrounding the unprovocked attack by the Isrealis against the Eygptian(2nd time) and Syrian forces(as well as the USS Liberty) in 1967. Suffice it to say, he had a somewhat different description of the events.

>You know it's like history, it depends on who's perspective you look at. The Israeli's have a different take, which is why I only refer to the "Six Day War." Pretty amazing that the war only took 6 days and the Israelis had their foot on the Arabs neck. The rulers in Israel apparently aren't good history students either, else they wouldn't even consider giving the Arabs the Golan Heights. You never give your enemy the high ground, especially when it's right above your home. My comments on this subject are only to express four things:
>
>1. I support the Israelis - the Arabs have never even formally recognized them, they should.
>2. "Can't they all just get along" in the middle east?
>3. They have never gotten along.
>4. They will probably never get along.

Dave Barry once said (an inexact quote) that some day in the distant future when the earth is a dead rock hurtling into the sun and the only things still alive on the planet are amoeba, the amoeba in the middle east will be at war.
