You may not have said that and I wasn't trying to imply that you had. It has been posted by Emile and many others that the Jews control the media, a conspiracy nut theory which is disproved by showing the nuts on the other end of the spectrum (ultra right wing) who say the same thing.

In any event, I have to disagree with your assessment of Israel's vulnerability in 1967. Israel's existence was seriously challenged then. If you go back and read the world news of the time, you will realize that. The military numbers were overwhelmingly stacked against Israel. If there had been an Iran-Iraq War type of human wave, then Israel could have been overrun. Both Iran and Iraq used these tactics against each other and the human wave might have been successful against Israel in 1967. It was not a given that Israel had air superiority.

Yes, Israel used its skill and strategy and the results speak for themselves.
