>> Excuse me was not Israel attacked first in 1967? I mean don't they seem outnumbered int hat part of the world? You seem to indicate Israel is the agressor.

Glenn, this is truly amazing to read that from you. It is unbelievable in fact. Everyone knows Israel itself made a surprise attack on Egypt, Syria and Jordan in 1967. The surprise attack caught Egypt's air force sitting in its hangers, and was destroyed on the ground. And the Golan heights was taken from syria. And the west bank from Jordan. It was calculated cold-blooded murder commited after receiving US approval. The amount of mis-information on this subject is beyond incredible.
Glenn, I would expect this non-knowledge from anyone other than you. But you were 17 at the time, so maybe you didn't pay attention to news.
Here is a quote from a Mossad officer. Please don't tell me you don't know what Mossad is.
--------------------------
Thirty years after the 1967 Six Day War, former Mossad intelligence agency head Meir Amit has revealed that then-U.S. defense secretary Robert McNamara asked him only two questions prior to the war: how long would it take, and how many casualties Israel foresaw.
Meeting the defence secretary and his CIA chief Robert Helms four days before the war began, Amit told them he planned to advise his government to go to war against Israel's Arab neighbors. Asked his assessment of the fighting, Amit replied that he thought the combat would take about a week and exact fewer casualties than Israels 1948 war of indepence.
Amit told Haaretz in an interview he was dispatched to Washington by former prime minister Levi Eshkol, anxious to gauge the possible response of Israel's close ally. Amit said he also met senior CIA research officials, who gave him assessments similar to his own concerning Egypts military forces, then concentrated in the Sinai desert. But Amit said Israel received no intelligence help from the United States. They knew less than we did about the Egyptians, he said.
On his return to Israel on July 3, 1967, Amit said he rushed to meet Eshkol and advise him to go to war immediately, free of concerns an Israeli offensive would trigger U.S. condemnation. They won't sit in mourning, if Israel fires the first shot, he reported to his superiors.
Two days later Israel launched its pre-emptive strike.
