<< You seem to think ANYTHING that is not 100% pro-Israel is not fair and balanced. >>
Anything that is posted that is obviously false, in order to put a bad light on ANYONE, is not fair and balanced. In order to convince me of your unworkable peace plan, you are twisting facts from history, and becoming quite sneaky in your notes.
Don't let historic facts get in your way. <g>
<< 1956? Eisenhower and the US gov't considered that an attack by Israel, France, and the UK on the Arabs. >>
I didn't ask what Ike thought. I was asking you. You don't think that the threats by Egypt to destroy Israel, and the attacks against Israel by Egypt's fedayeen and the forming of a large united military by Egypt, Syria and Jordan to attack Israel, were legitimate grounds for Israel to strike back?
<< The US, when it had the Panama Canal, always claimed the right to close it to enemies. Technically, Egypt and Israel were at war in 1956. Difference? >>
If you say that technically Egypt and Israel were already at war in 1949, when Egypt closed the Suez Canal to Israel, why do you say that Israel started the war?
<< Did Israel have those rights wrt the Suez Canal? >>
What are you saying, that Israel went to war over the closing of the Canal in 1949??? The official start of open hostilities started in 1956. |
