I'm not here playing games. As a kid, aI went to a rally in 1967 and heard the voice. If it was not true, then it was a translation issue as I don't speak Egyptian.

If you read about Nassar, it was clear that the line was one he would have used. You can't prove he didn't use it.

Here's a quote from a site I'd never use - but even the nutcakes know that Nassar wanted the Jews dead or worse.

For two decades following their nationhood, the surrounding Arab countries amassed a huge military force for the expressed purpose of driving the Jews into the sea. In 1957 Egypt and Syria attempted to destroy Israel militarily and were humiliated for their efforts. By 1967 the Arabs were rearmed and daily threatened the Jews with annihilation. In June of that year, war seemed imminent. Nassar, Egypt's President, intimidated Israel continuously over the radio. Syria shelled Israeli cities daily from the Golan Heights.

1967 - Nassar had expelled the UN cut off Israeli shipping and clearly was saber rattling, troop movements on the borders.

Let's do a quick hypothetical.

How many Jews would have survived IF the Arabs had won in 1967?

Would we be debating the fate of some refugees in a camp? Or would we be looking for space for mass graves?
