The lies about the 1967 war are still more powerful than the truth - Alan HartYes, Israel in her War of aggression conquered an unarmed Palestinian People. Like in Serbia, as in Kosovo, but no one on Planet Earth saw this pre-emptive strike of 6 days nothing less than a pre-planned attack to control all of Palestine, as it does today.Don't look now, but East Jerusalem IS taken... 1967... that's 46-year-old news...
Like Serbia the UN has never sanctioned Israels annexations not even AIPAC Controlled USA...
Israel, by defying world-wide sentiments of Justice will be sanctioned with boycotts that have begun. The world is Not going to allow Israel to destroy Palestinian Rights to the land because Israel controls it.
Peaceful resistance by Abbas, is winning the race at the UN and America will soon cave in, AIPAC or no AIPAC, these foreign wars are destroying Americans not only in the field, but at home!
Which "war of aggression" are you talking about?
In an interview published in Le Monde on 28 February 1968, Israeli Chief of Staff Rabin said this: “I do not believe that Nasser wanted war. The two divisions which he sent into Sinai on 14 May would not have been enough to unleash an offensive against Israel. He knew it and we knew it.”
On 14 April 1971, a report in the Israeli newspaper Al-Hamishmar contained the following statement by Mordecai Bentov, a member of the wartime national government. “The entire story of the danger of extermination was invented in every detail and exaggerated a posteriori to justify the annexation of new Arab territory.”
On 4 April 1972, General Haim Bar-Lev, Rabin’s predecessor as chief of staff, was quoted in Ma’ariv as follows: “We were not threatened with genocide on the eve of the Six Days War, and we had never thought of such a possibility.”
In the same Israeli newspaper on the same day, General Ezer Weizmann, Chief of Operations during the war and a nephew of Chaim Weizmann, was quoted as saying: “There was never any danger of annihilation. This hypothesis has never been considered in any serious meeting.”
In the spring of 1972, General Matetiyahu Peled, Chief of Logistical Command during the war and one of 12 members of Israel’s General Staff, addressed a political literary club in Tel Aviv. He said: “The thesis according to which the danger of genocide hung over us in June 1967, and according to which Israel was fighting for her very physical survival, was nothing but a bluff which was born and bred after the war.”
In a radio debate Peled also said: “Israel was never in real danger and there was no evidence that Egypt had any intention of attacking Israel.” He added that “Israeli intelligence knew that Egypt was not prepared for war.”
In the same programme General Chaim Herzog (former Director of Military Intelligence, future Israeli Ambassador to the UN and President of his state) said: “There was no danger of annihilation. Neither Israeli headquarters nor the Pentagon – as the memoirs of President Johnson proved – believed in this danger.”
