The Arab Israeli War (The six day war) was won by Israel after they were attacked on two fronts by combined forces from Egypt, Jordan and Syria.

This is a flat out lie. Israel attacked first. If you had read your propaganda manual more closely, you would know you are supposed to say it was a preemptive strike.

"The former Commander of the Air Force, General Ezer Weitzman, regarded as a hawk, stated that there was 'no threat of destruction' but that the attack on Egypt, Jordan and Syria was nevertheless justified so that Israel could 'exist according the scale, spirit, and quality she now embodies.'

Menahem Begin had the following remarks to make: 'In June 1967, we again had a choice. The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.'

(from Noam Chomsky's "The Fateful Triangle")

I agree with you that Osama Bin Laden is a bad guy, though I don't think he is as bad as Hitler. He doesn't want to conquer his neighbors, he just wants to push the Western powers out of the Middle East. He also doesn't seem to want to conduct a genocide of any sort.
