No one blamed Israel for the six day war

LOL! You don't know who are dealing with, do you?

Menahem Begin: "We decided to attack him."

The 1967 war started with Israel attacking Egypt's air force. Egypt's air force was on the ground. Why? Because the U.S. had told Nasser that they would try to broker a peace with Israel, and that Nasser should ground his air force because the Israelis were looking for a fake confrontation as an excuse to go to war. As soon as Nasser complied, Israel attacked and destroyed the grounded air force.

And don't forget the precursor to this invasion, the 1956 invasion of Egypt, done by Israel (in collusion with France and England).
