First, the US birthed Israel in the UN. Its always been its ally. Not at all. The general assembly has long been anti-Israel. The UN bureaucracy is also anti-Israel. And the Security Council is mixed, with only the US regularly supporting Israel. Secondly, the 1967 war was an excuse for an Israeli land grab at the expense of the Palestinians who did not even start the war. The war wasn't an excuse for anything, it was Israel defending itself. Also the war conquered land from Egypt, Syria, and Jordon during that war. The Palestinians didn't control any territory at the time. he same Arabs whom Israel defeated in 1967, all will agree, kicked the Israelis' butts in Lebanon That's inaccurate as well. "Did better then expected"? yes. "Frustrated Israel"? Yes. Even "Caused Israel to fail to meet it objectives"? Yes, and you can, if you want spin that last one to an argument for "Israel lost", but even if you accept that argument an inconclusive battle where you fail to achieve your objective is not the same as receiving a butt kicking. Getting your butt kicked is like what happened to Japan in WWII, or the Republican Guard in the two wars we fought in Iraq.
