<<After all, THE AGGRESSOR COUNTRY SHOULDN'T HAVE STARTED THE WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE!!>> Technically speaking this is actually incorrect. Sure, the Egyptians, Jordanians and Syrians built up forces on the Israeli border but Israel actually launched a preemptive strike.....understandably so given the circumstances. On June 5, 1967, Israel launched a preemptive attack on Egypt.[13] The Arab countries denied planning to attack Israel, and asserted that Israel's strike was not preemptive but an unwarranted and illegal act of aggression. en.wikipedia.org

Hawk, that's fine that Israel kicked Jordan out of the country. However, all countries of the world consider Israel's occupation as ILLEGAL,..... again, that's all countries of the world. Israel is a nation of ONE that maintains it's self-serving position, that's so that it can maintain, occupy and extend its illegal occupation of lands that belong to the Palestinians. Israel stands in direct opposition to the world community in order to hold onto its illegal gains. Talk about isolation for Iran, Israel is far more isolated from the world community.
