Israel will never withdraw from Golan Heights - Netanyahu

And if Syria got control of the Golan, water arising from there would cease to flow into Israeli territory.

Both Syria and Jordan tried that dirty trick once before, another good reason for Israel's annexation of the Golan.

The water to the Jordan West Bank is restricted because the stupid Arabs keep sabotaging the pipes, resulting in a 30% loss of water piped in the West Bank area.

Under the OsloII accord, the Palestinian Arabs got allocated 118 million cubic meters/year from local sources, while Israelis got 483 million cubic metres/yr from the same resources, and they didn't shoot themselves in the foot by sabotaging the water pipes.

About a quarter of the 420 million m3 Israel pumps from the Sea of Galilee goes to the local communities in Israel and to Jordan; the rest is diverted to Israel through the National Water Carrier (NWC) before it can reach the West Bank.

Virtually all water from the Yarmouk River, north of the West Bank is diverted by Israel, Syria and Jordan. The water of the

Tirza Stream, the largest stream in the central Jordan Valley, fed by rainwater, is diverted by Israel to the Tirza Reservoir and used by settlements in the area for irrigation of crops and for raising fish.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_...an_territories

Maybe If Jordan had not have declared War on Israel in 1967 along with Syria and Egypt with the sole intention of annihilating them they would not have the West bank annexed by Israel .

D'ohhh- piwi, Israel has not annexed the West Bank. It is illegally occupying it, with IDF and illegal settlers- who, combined, are a small fraction of the population but hog most of the water and most of the desirable land. If it did annexe (or more accurately, combine with it- because Palestine is a state), then it would be compelled to grant the Palestinians citizenship in the combined state. This is exactly what I advocate- and it is called the 'one state solution'.

Because frankly it seems to me the 'two state' solution is a pipe dream now, and was never really the intention of the right wing Israeli cabal that controls the politics there anyway. Basically, I think Israel has pulled a con job on many of it's own citizens. Then again, one state/ two state doesn't really matter to me- justice for the occupied Palestinians does. Long overdue justice.

Right wing zionists however exist in this fantasy world that somehow they can just expel the native population and grab it all for themselves. Piwi- did we expel the native population of Wales? Of Ireland? Did we even try? Are Welsh and Northern Irish not UK citizens? It is beyond absurd.

OK then if Jordan had not declared war on Israel along with Syria and Egypt with the sole intention of annihilating them the west bank would not be illegally occupied would it ? ,can you in your own words state what was the purpose of the 3 pronged attack on Israel , to sell them Encyclopaedia Britannia's ?

Sabang I suggest you watch this :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGYxLWUKwWo

So what are they going to do with it- combine ('one state'), or withdraw ('two state')? You are referring to a 50 year old war here- I am referring to the ongoing Occupation of Palestine.

The answer is ultimately political, and should probably be decided by Referendum. The current situation is manifestly unsustainable. The benefits to Israel of a political resolution are enormous- you can do your own research here, for a start just look at what the last two Presidents of Israel, Shimon Peres & Reuven Rivlin, have to say on the matter. They are both One State advocates.

The sad fact of the matter is that a bunch of right wing nutcases have hijacked the politics, and policies of Israel. The country that so many (especially us in the west) had such high hopes for, is rapidly degenerating into a hate filled, violent, racist cesspit under idiotic right wing politics that seek no resolution- just ongoing brutalisation of the natives, and creeping colonisation of Palestine. But the Palestinians are not going anywhere. Many Israeli's and Jews are as disgusted by this as me, and the vast majority of the world community.

^ The only thing I can tell you about that Piwibrain, is that it is anything but the truth. I have no interest in watching long discredited Lies, and why right wing zionists believe that regurgitating them ad infinitum makes any difference, is beyond me. Not everyone is as stoopid as them you know. Half of them believe in Armageddon, the other half that they can get away with anything. Neither possesses a shred of morality, common human decency, or respect for international law. Bigots, racists, human rights abusers, and criminals under international law.

Taking the 5th amendment I see , So I will ask again ,what was the purpose of the 3 pronged attack on Israel in 1967 ? General Nasser said it was to annihilate the state of Israel ,and of course you simply refuse to watch the video as your mind is made up already ,and then you have the fucking affront to call me a bigot :smileylaughing: and if they did not acquire the West bank as a direct result of the 6 day war HTF did they acquire it ?

Again, peabrain- they did not acquire the West Bank, they Occupied it and do to this day. To acquire it, they have to politically merge with it. Why don't they do so- because that would involve granting the indigenous people citizenship.

Nasser said lots of things- he was a notorious bigmouth, as was Hitler. So what? How is a 50 year old war relevant to the ongoing, illegal and brutal occupation of Palestine, and the glaring failure to politically resolve the situation and grant the native Palestinian's Rights within their own country?

Consider the absurdity of your position. You are arguing against the United Nations, international law, the EU, USA, Arab League and the opinion of the vast majority of the worlds population, of most Jews outside of Israel, and of many, many Israeli's also. Your intellectual resources are quite humble in comparison.:rolleyes: In favour of ethnic cleansing and potential genocide.

Well Mr Pedantic they have been there since 1967 with no signs that they will ever leave so as far as I am concerned they acquired it off the Jordanians who in all probability had not threw the dice and lost would still have had the West Bank ,you are just playing about with words but giving no real answers ,almost 1,000 Israeli service men lost their lives in the 6 day war ,are you saying that the Arabs did not mean to kill them and it was all a big mistake?:rofl: the object of war is to kill the enemy and the Arabs tried and failed its that fucking simple , and if the Arabs had won there would have be no such Country as Israel today .

And of course Sabang you can produce proof that this entire article (which you will steadfastly refuse to read):) is an exercise in fiction and the 6 day war never happened ? 19 Statement to the Security Council by Foreign Minister Eban- 6 June 1967

If this is the case (although hardly for you to decide) then it becomes a simple apartheid struggle, leading to the merging of the two states and the granting of citizenship to the Palestinians. Unless of course you are a right wing zionist living in his dreamworld, who just thinks it is possible to expel or eliminate 5.2 million Palestinians living in Palestine so that you can take their land.

But to many Israeli's and Jews, it is much, much more than that- it is a question of the nature of the state of Israel going forward. To some, "Israel as a Jewish state" is the prime concern- and Israel would only be left with a single digit Jewish majority if it combined with Palestine. So they favor the two state solution. To one staters however, eretz or greater Israel is of more importance- a larger, economically stronger, arguably more defensible Israel but with a more diverse population, and a greatly reduced Jewish majority. So which is it to be? What is manifestly the case is that ethnic cleansing and potential genocide are not on the cards, and that the Palestinian population, which is still increasing in Gaza & the West Bank, is not going anywhere.

YOU already answered that- according to Nasser, it was to destroy the state of Israel. Like so what- that was 50 years ago, and Israel now enjoys cordial relations with Egypt and Jordan. What were Hitler's intentions- but do we not now enjoy cordial relations with Germany? War and Peace.

- Hamas has clearly stated it will abide by any negotiated peace deal, subject only to it being passed by a Referendum of the Palestinian people.

Sounds fair to me- seeing as I advocate the same for Israel to decide whether they pursue a one or two state solution.

I regularly rail against the illegal settlers, in particular the vile outpost settlers- but I do not mistake them for the political leadership of Israel, or the average Israeli citizen. You should show the same common sense about Hamas- as well as realise that the radicalisation of many in Gaza is a direct consequence of the appalling conditions there, and Israeli actions there.

Ahhh yes this old canard. So what was it all actually about? Were Egypt, Jordan and Syria planning on "wiping israel off the face of the map"? Umm no.

Why did israel attack these three countries?

1 - Egypt closed the Gulf of Aqaba, Israel's only access to the Red Sea in May?
2 - israel wanted to lay down a marker to say "we are the boss now"?
3 - Creating the myth of israel under attack, thus convincing the Jews of the world
to support israel passionately, because up until this point only zionists did?
4 - a Land grab. Israel wanted more Arab land?

All four - the last two most importantly.

So did israel think the three neighbours were actually going to attack? No.
did the USA think the three neighbours were actually going to attack? No.
Were they going to attack? No.

This force was to crush once and for all the Egyptians at the military level and their Soviet masters at the political level. To pretend that the Egyptian forces concentrated on our borders were capable of threatening Israel’s existence does not only insult the intelligence of any person capable of analysing this kind of situation, but is primarily an insult to the Israeli army.”

General Chaim Herzog (former Director of Military Intelligence, future Israeli Ambassador to the UN and President of his state) said: “There was no danger of annihilation. Neither Israeli headquarters nor the Pentagon – as the memoirs of President Johnson proved – believed in this danger.”

Now not only did israel KNOW there was no danger, but they also went to LBJ and with all their intelligence they had gathered and asked them to explore if there was a danger. The US Intelligence system came back and said categorically that there was NO DANGER. Nassar was a windbag, just like every other middle east leader, and nothing more. Israel was so well armed, certainly NOT a David to the Goliath israeli propaganda makes out to believe. So much so that Robert McNamara stated if there was a war, it would be a clear and decisive victory for Israel in 7-10 days.


The other myth surround the 6 day war is that is lasted 6 days. The unprovoked attacks on its neighbours, who were not in any way revved up for a war, lasted about 24 hours, during which time all of the Egyptian air capability had been destroyed on the ground. With no troops massed, and then no air force, the war was over. Then came the israeli Land Grab, which was 50% of what the war was all about.

So, there you go PIWI. put another of your and Ent's israel lies to bed.


What's the next load of rubbish you want to bring to the table?

It is funny isn't it. The vast majority of the bullshit pumped out by Ent and Piwi come from this work of utter fiction......Or sad.. Yes, it is sad.

^^ Good post Pseud. This is the pro-Israel narrative- which fully concedes that Israel launched the first ('pre-emptive') strike:-

Faced with few choices, on June 4, 1967 the Cabinet authorized the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence to decide on appropriate steps to defend the State of Israel.On June 5, Israel launched a pre-emptive strike against Egypt and captured the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip. Despite an Israeli appeal to Jordan to stay out of the conflict, Jordan attacked Israel and thereby lost control of the West Bank and the eastern sector of Jerusalem. Israel went on to capture the Golan Heights from Syria by the time the war ended on June 10.
Who Started The Six Day War?

When you read the apocalyptic and blood curdling comments of extremist Israeli's re exiting Palestine, it is relevant to remember that exactly the same comments were made by exactly the same kind of people re exiting the Sinai- which duly happened, a decade after the 1967 war.

It is just crazy

The problem is that the fake narrative is repeated throughout the media, from "news" to movies, and even intelligent people (clearly, excluding piwi and ent from this group) really can not face the idea that everything they have been taught about it is a blatant lie.

What will piwis response be? Yeah but yeah but... and then ignore it. How can he possibly combat against the words of the actual antagonists? Even LBJ in his memoir stated this - israel were not the victim, they were the aggressor. They were not under threat. Simple proof that if you win the war, you write the history.

Missed this little gem.

1 - Under international law, there is nothing written that says that a body of people has to recognise another body of people's state.

2 - There is also no explicit "right to exist either". Just because a group of people want a state to "exist", there is no legal foundation at all that says therefore it does. this is why the emphasis is on the international community, other states basically, to recognise the states existence.

3 - israel keeps banging on about this, but they are not saying the one crucial part, and as usual, the devil is in the detail which is why fawning fools like PiwaCILE misses it. APRIL 24 2014, Hamas and Fatah signed a reconciliation agreement. As part of that they accepted and agreed to work towards a TWO STATE SOLUTION. See that, Piwi, a TWO STATE SOLUTION. Now if you and your bellend mates want to keep insisting that Hamas does not recognise the state of Israel, well what was the other State then? Come on, there must be an answer to this on Pat Condell? Hamas signed an agree accepting a two state solution, one of which is the State of Palestine, and the other is what exactly? It is the State of Israel. So therefore, Hamas accepted the State of Israel, and recognised it's right to exist.

4 - Of course, this caused a problem for Bibi and his band of murderous criminals. They never wanted Hamas and Fatah to agree on anything, and certainly did not want them to put on paper that they accepted the State of Israel, and recognised it's right to exist. So with the emphatic embarrassment of Lebanon still ringing in their ears, where the brave IDF chickened out of a ground war with hezbollah (israel IDF are cowards and will only fight on the ground against unarmed civilians), Bibi needed to show the voters in israel, and the hostages to the lobby that israel was hard, so he decided to attack Gaza again. Nothing makes the idiots like piwi and bEnt cheer more than one of the biggest and most sophisticated war machines attacking an unarmed civilian population. The fact that israels greatest fear was becoming a reality, as in Hamas coming to the table with Fatah to agree to a two state solution and accepting israels right to exist...well if that was allowed out, israel and bibi were fucked! So they attacked Gaza again.

...and so we continue.

israel does not want peace. The wall they have built? They continually say that that is their FINAL border in that area. Final. It is about 10% of the occupied areas, includes all of the critical infrastructure, the majority of fertile useful land, and most of the settlements. This is the likely gambit. They will try to make a trade off in relation to the Right of Return (as dictated by international law). They will say "OK, oooooiiivey, we will withdraw from 90% of the occupied area, to the wall. Such a big sacrifice for us ooooooiiivey ooooiivey and we are the victim in all of this. In return for this, you Palestinian refuges in other countries, you can not come back".

This has been a common theme in the John Kerry peace talks, most of the utterances from obomba the butcher, and every other supporter of israel that aree pretending to be Neutral, but are actually just trying to force the israeli view point o the Palestinians.

However, still, Hamas accepts israels right to exist. Nothing has been withdrawn.

word of warning for piwi and ent... don't you dare start throwing around the MEMRI translated Hamas Charter from decades ago. They are about as reliable as the protocols of zion (although one must admit that the plans and prediction of the protocols of zion have mostly come to bear).

So hopefully we have put this old lie to bed.

Questions, Piwi? Ent? and please do not start your posts with "yeah but". :)

Uh oh! Ent's been lurking for a while. He must be doing a lot of cut and pasting from MEMRI or CAMERA...probably both.

I really hope he puts some different fallacy that I can systematically pull apart with facts

:rofl:

Start worrying.

Oh no! Ent has been watching Pat condell or something and is going to blow us all away with his false logic, made up history, and propaganda?

Back to the 1967 Arab-Israeli 6 Day War.

A timeline immediately preceding the war

April 1967 Israel's army and air force attacked Syria, in response to Syrian shooting towards an Israeli tractor ploughing in the DMZ

May 1967
Nasser received false reports from the Soviet Union that Israel was massing on the Syrian border.

May 15, 1967
Egypt moves troops en mass into the Sinai.

May 16
Nasser began massing his troops in the Sinai Peninsula on Israel's border.

In a meeting with Nasser, Johnson’s special envoy to the UAR, Robert B. Anderson, expressed U.S. puzzlement over why he had massed troops in the Sinai, to which Nasser replied, “Whether you believe it or not, we were in fear of an attack from Israel. We had been informed that the Israelis were massing troops on the Syrian border with the idea of first attacking Syria, there they did not expect to meet great resistance, and then commence their attack on the UAR.”

Anderson then told Nasser “that it was unfortunate the UAR had believed such reports, which were simply not in accordance with the facts”, to which Nasser responded that his information had come from reliable sources (presumably referring to intelligence information passed along by the USSR)

May 18, 1967
Syria amasses troops in the Golan Heights.

May 19
Egypt expelled the UNEF force from Gaza and Sinai and took up UNEF positions at Sharm el-Sheikh, overlooking the Straits of Tiran.

Israel reiterated declarations made in 1957 that any closure of the Straits would be considered an act of war, or justification for war.

May 20, 1967
Haffez Al Assad, then Syria defense minister, makes this statement:
"Our forces are now entirely ready not only to repulse the aggression, but to initiate the act of liberation itself, and to explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland. The Syrian army, with its finger on the trigger, is united....I, as a military man, believe that the time has come to enter into a battle of annihilation."

May 22–23. Nasser declared the Straits of Tiran closed, blocking Israel's access to the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean.

May 23-27, 1967
Egyptian Field Marshal Amer planned initiating an attack on Israel on May 27, Quoted telling "This time we will be the ones to start the war" meaning to hold the military initiative on the field.
The code-name to that planned attack was Operation Dawn.

This was counter to Nasser's strategy of pushing Israel to start the war, like he had in 1956.
Nasser ordered Amer to hold off the attack and do what they did in 1956 again, hours before the planned launch of the attack.

At 2:30 a.m. on May 27, Soviet Ambassador to Egypt Dimitri Pojidaev knocked on Nasser's door and read him a personal letter from the Soviet first deputy premier, Alexei Kosygin, in which he said, "We don't want Egypt to be blamed for starting a war in the Middle East. If you launch that attack, we cannot support you."

May 30, Jordan and Egypt signed a defense pact. The following day, at Jordan's invitation, the Iraqi army began deploying troops and armored units in Jordan. They were later reinforced by an Egyptian contingent.

June 1 Israel formed a National Unity Government by widening its cabinet.

June 4 The decision was made to go to war. The next morning, Israel launched Operation Focus, a large-scale surprise air strike that launched the Six-Day War.

Zionists then dishonestly use this term of convenience to imply that Palestine and Jordan were and are one and the same thing- which is manifestly untrue. This in support of a totally evil and totally unrealistic agenda of ethnically cleansing the state of Palestine of native Palestians, who have continuously occupied the land throughout history.

Even under the British, or "Palestinian" mandate, Jordan and Palestine were absolutely not the same. Jordan was a self administered Emirate, the Emirs being the same family that rules to this day as Kings- the Hashemite's. Palestine, in contrast, was directly administered by the Brits. Jordan was never part of Palestine, at any time in world history.

Repeating a long identified Lie ad infinitum does not make it any less untrue- it merely exposes you as a serial Liar, supporting a totally unrealistic and ultimately Evil agenda. And who are you trying to fool anyway- native Palestinians are just going to walk out of their ancestral homeland because some greedy Jews say they want it? Jordan is going to accept this? The rest of the world is going to accept this? Wake up.

Hey, subung, Jordan once accepted all Arabs entering Jordan from Israel, but no more, Jordan although declaring itself Palestine and Palestine being Jordan, which you are completely in denial of, now is dominated by Palestinians, yup, Palestinians as you call them are now in the majority in Jordan, and are no more welcome there than fleas on a dog.

The same goes for Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Saudi,....they all hate the hell out of the moaning, whining, bitching, exploitative wannabee refugee culture called "the Palestinians".

Who wants them? No one. Arafat tried to use them for political gain, Hamas has tried the same, as has Hezbolla and the Palestinian Authority also, to no avail, other than to use the refo Palis as political shuttle-cocks, batting them around and egging them on to fight their wars for them.

Now back to your stupid assertion that Jordan magically existed as an emirate before the Brits gifted 3/4 of Palestine to the Hashemites, the same ones who keep saying that Jordan is Palestine and vice versa.

"The League of Nations [Belgium, Britain, France, Greece, Italy, and Japan] divided the territory [formerly under Ottoman rule] into new entities, called mandates. The mandates would be administered like trusts by the British and French, under supervision of the League, until such time as the inhabitants were believed by League members to be ready for independence and self-government...
The mandate territories were Syria and Lebanon, awarded to France; Iraq, awarded to Britain; and a new entity called Palestine, which was also placed under British control. Palestine, as defined for the first time in modern history at San Remo, included the land on both sides of the Jordan River and encompassed the present-day countries of Israel and Jordan. However, boundary changes were soon made...The British decided...to carve out of the Palestine mandate a new entity east of the Jordan River [Transjordan]... In July 1922, the League of Nations ratified the mandate arrangements, including the changes that had been made since 1920."

McNamara Says No to Israel's Arm Request (April 1967) | Jewish Virtual Library

Lyndon Johnson Administration:
McNamara Says No to Israel's Arm Request
(April 17, 1967)

SUBJECT
Israeli Arms Requests

I believe you are familiar with the recommendation of the Interdepartmental Regional Group for Near East-South Asia (IRG/NESA) that we should not accede to Israel's request for 200 armored personnel carriers (APCs), on either a grant aid or sales basis./2/

/2/See Document 400.

I personally support that recommendation, and believe it would be a serious mistake for us to provide APCs to Israel at this time, either 200 or any lesser number. I recognize our interest in the maintenance by Israel of an adequate deterrent against attack by any of its Arab neighbors, but the present and prospective military balance in the Middle East strongly favors Israel. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have recently confirmed their view that Israel will be militarily unchallengeable by any combination of Arab states at least during the next five years./3/ As presently trained and equipped, the armed forces of Israel are greatly superior in effectiveness and firepower to those of their potential opponents, individually or collectively.

/3/See Document 387.

Israeli security is also strengthened by the US policy of maintaining a controlled military supply relationship with those Arab states who show moderation toward Israel and who resist opportunities to acquire Soviet equipment; this helps to avoid a polarization of the Arab-Israeli dispute along East-West lines. Our dramatic airlift of equipment to Jordan last winter was necessary to save King Hussein's regime, which had been badly undermined by the unfortunate Israeli raid against Samu in November. Our failure to act could have led to a rapid deterioration in Jordan, involving the introduction of Egyptian armed forces and Soviet advisers and equipment. Provision of additional APCs to Israel at this time could, in my judgment, only serve to undercut the good effect of what we did for Jordan, to "pay twice" for the Israeli miscalculation at Samu, and to agitate a situation that is now relatively quiescent.

In the agreement of March 1966 for the purchase of Skyhawk aircraft,/4/ Israel explicitly recognized that that sale did not constitute a precedent for future U.S. action, and further agreed "to continue to look to Europe for the bulk of its military requirements and not to regard the U.S. as a major arms supplier." In making its current request for APCs, the Israelis would appear to be disregarding these conditions which they accepted just over a year ago. In my judgment, our recent supplementary aid to Jordan has not altered the validity of these conditions.

/4/See Document 283.

I therefore recommend that we turn down the Israeli request for APCs, and suggest that they should look to Western European sources if they consider it necessary to purchase APCs at this time.

So - you refute my points, ENT.

8th United States Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara - categorically states that 1 - israel is under no threat.
2 - israel's aggression towards its neighbours is destabilizing the region.

How are you going to refute this?

Aides Advise Military Aid Should to Lebanon, Not Israel (March 1967) | Jewish Virtual Library

This record of the meeting of the Interdepartmental Regional Group for Near East and South Asia discusses whether the United States should meet the arms requests from Lebanon and Israel. The record shows that the Group supports military aid to Lebanon, but not to Israel.

[Here follows a list of members present, including Acting Executive Chairman Battle, Hoopes, Saunders, Williams of AID, Critchfield of CIA, Brigadier General Sibley of the JCS Staff, and Nevins of USIA. Others present included Handley, Davies, Wolle, Kitchen, Colonel Jordan, and Sober.]

Israel

In considering the pending request of the Government of Israel for (1) the grant of 200 armored personnel carriers (APC's--Model M-113 A1) valued at approximately $7.4 million, (2) the grant of tank parts valued at $2 million, and (3) the supply on soft concessional credit terms of follow-on Hawk missile spares and M-48 tank parts valued at $14 million, the Group:

Agreed that Israel does not have a valid military requirement at this time for the APC's; that, in any event, the recency of Israel's attack on Samu (Jordan) made it undesirable for us to accede at this time to the supply of new weapons; that the supply of improved new APC's of the M-113 A1 type would tend to escalate the Near East arms race; and that if Israel were adamant about obtaining new APC's, our own interests dictated that the United States should not be directly involved.

Reaffirmed that we should maintain our established policy against supplying grant military aid to Israel and that we should reject the Government of Israel's request of grant aid for APC's and tank parts. The Group agreed, furthermore, that we should refuse to sell Israel the M-113 A1's or to agree to the sale of the similar U.S.-licensed, Italian-made Model M-113, for either credit or cash; and should the Government of Israel ask to purchase our APC's, we should encourage it to look to other sources in Western Europe for equipment.

The Group also reaffirmed its view that it would set an undesirable precedent to provide credit for Israel for the purchase of follow-on military spares and parts. The Group agreed, however, that if it should be determined that some concession on military supply should be made to Israel, a credit in the range of $7-10 million might be offered at the current going rate (5 1/2% interest, 7 years, 10% down payment) for the purchase of spares and parts.

Again - the US government in its entirity do not agree that israel is under threat, and that due to them in the recent past attacking it's neighbours, should not be armed further in this.

You can not quibble with these by the way - The Jewish Library! This is a Pro Israeli Pro Zionist website. They are trying to show how the US government of the 1960s was antisemitic by the way.... Direct quotes from Government policy documents. :)

Memorandum Urging Israel Halt Farming To Appease Syria (April 1967) | Jewish Virtual Library

This telegram urges Israel to halt its cultivation in areas near the demilitarized zone on the border with Syria, in an effort to cool tensions between Syria and Israel.

israel is grabbing land from Syria. The DMZ as you call it was Syrian Land NOT israel land. israel had no right to that land, or to farm it. The shot was likely fired by the farmer who OWNED the land watching an israel stealing it . In return, israel launched an AIR ATTACK on Syria.

You think this is normal.... you dick, but it is not. If someone stole your field, and in front of you started ploughing it, what would you do? When you shoot at the fucker is it reasonable for the air force to obliterate your TOWN?

Your little ADL MEMRI CAMERA list makes it sound oh so nice. israeli farmer in his field shot at, and thus starts the war. It completely excludes that this was stolen land, and that is was not one shooting, it was shooting going both ways.

Oh, I cry bitter tears of blood for you, you ignorant Jew basher. :rofl:

The Options for Approving the Israeli Arms Deal (April 1967) | Jewish Virtual Library

b. Our critical problem with Israel is that they have wanted the advantage of a U.S. guarantee but have simultaneously wanted to maintain a military establishment which could be effective if the U.S. guarantee did not operate in a crisis. The technical reason for the Israel position is their anxiety about a quick Arab strike against them--from the air or on the ground--which we might be too slow to deal with. It is this ambiguity which has, quite understandably, in some ways led them to build up their military establishment in ways which made it easier for the Russians to have their offers of military aid accepted in the Middle East. The APC question relates to this. Bob McNamara and others think that APC purchases from the U.S. might open up another round of Soviet military credit sales to the Arabs in the Middle East. I am not sure that is necessarily so if the APC's are moved in on a clear replacement basis. There is another problem with certain members of Congress who have resisted our being an active part of the Middle East arms race.

israel was building up its forces to attack it's neighbours (April 20, 1967) Long before Egypt put a few hundred men into the Sinai (which they only did in case of israeli aggression as had been committed against Syria).

Assessment of the Tension Between Israel and the Arabs (April 1967) | Jewish Virtual Library

Assessment of the Tension Between Israel and the Arabs
(April 13, 1967)

This report assesses the tension between Israel and its Arab neightbors, noting that the Arabs and Israelis are no closer to resolving their fundamental differencces than previously. The report also discusses how the Soviet Union is involved in the Middle East conflict, and which side the country would support were a full-fledged war to occur.

THE ARAB-ISRAELI DISPUTE: CURRENT PHASE

The Problem

To estimate present attitudes and future trends in the Arab-Israeli problem over the next two or three years.

Conclusions

A. The Arabs and Israelis are no closer to a solution of their fundamental differences than they ever were.

B. Rivalries and disputes among the Arabs reduce their chances of doing anything significant about their quarrel with Israel; these rivalries also create some danger of precipitating crises from which large-scale Arab-Israeli hostilities could develop.

C. The Israelis seem likely to continue existing policies, including occasional retaliatory action; they would resort to force on a large scale only if they felt their security seriously endangered.

D. The Soviet leaders almost certainly view the Arab-Israeli dispute as promoting their interests. But they do not wish to see it develop into armed conflict. While continuing to supply arms to their Arab friends, they probably wish to keep the arms race from getting out of hand.

E. If and when the Arabs come to believe that the Israelis are at the point of deploying strategic missiles,/2/ a phase of sharply increased Arab-Israeli tensions will probably arise. This is likely to occur within the next two to three years. In this event, the Egyptians would probably press the Soviets for help.

/2/In the context of an Arab-Israeli conflict, strategic missiles would be those capable of striking the major population centers or military installations of the enemy, i.e., missiles with a range roughly between 100 and 500 miles. [Footnote in the source text.]

F. To such an appeal the Soviet leaders would probably feel that they had to respond in some way. They would probably pledge to help Egypt or other Arab states if attacked and would probably provide token technical aid on the Egyptian missile program. They might go so far as to provide a missile system, but we believe they would not supply nuclear warheads or assist in the development of a nuclear weapons program.

G. Although periods of increased tension in the Arab-Israeli dispute will occur from time to time, both sides appear to appreciate that large-scale military action involves considerable risk and no assurance of leading to a solution. In any event, the chances are good that the threat of great power intervention will prevent an attempt by either side to resolve the problem by military force.

You should read this as well ENT - Arabs are not going to do anything, but if they did it would be to stop israel's NUKE program coming onto line.

You forget this - at this time, they were worried about the psychotic israeli murderers having NUKES which the French supplied to them.

VICTIM ISRAEL> SAMSON OPTION.
