40th anniversary of the Six Day War

Fourty years ago Israel launched the awesome military Operations against three arab nations. 264.000 israeli soldiers (incl. 50,000 regular troops) defeated 300.000 troops form Egypt, Jordan, Syria and South Arabia. 197 israeli aircraft fought against 812 !!!!

This is the documentry made by the History Channel

The only thing i get to hear in Belgium about the 40th anniversary is the state television (completly left instead of neutral) that complains that the palestinian area's are still occupied. Some stupid bimbo from Amnesty International that thinks that she can save the world complains that A.I. and other human right organisations have no change to interfere, bla bla bla........
And not one single image of the 6 days war. Nope, just that big wall Isreal is building and some control posts.
So, thanks for the post Che

 

What do you expect, Quillin, with so much of European society totally dominated by the left? I fear very much that it might still happen here in the USA.

 

wow, i'm stunded by the documentairy. Air superiority in one day, upgraded shermans kicking T-55's, waterdrinking regulations, better terrain knowledge of the Sinai desert then the Egyptians and (this one is the nicest) letting syrians plant trees near their guns and that 2 years before the war.

This isn't a war, it's more the moviescript of a dull Holywood warmovie

 

Even though the exception proves the rule - some of us are not yet completely tainted by the pink tinge.

 

Good shermans in fact, with thicker armour , better optics, and bigger guns, and possibly different engine.

 

Nicknamed "Super Shermans", a well deserved appellation. Three of them were used in the movie "Kelly's Heroes".

 

Not only the M1 and M50 Super Sherman, there were also the M51 so called Isherman and
the M-60 HVMS Hyper Velocity Medium Support.

It's like that i Belgium as well? Just the same here in Norway, completely ridiculous. The best/worst ( depending on your sense of humour ) example yet was a story by the government TV-channel about a group of youths from a Norwegian political party going to Palestine and Israel to learn more about the conflict between them. About halfway into the story it turned into a monologue by the reporter about how awful Israel was, the youths from Norway completely forgotten. It would have made a nice satirical Monty Python-type sketch, though perhaps a bit more funny with John Cleese.

I can't believe the public accepts this propaganda, it's not even well made propaganda. And why is the left so emotionally disturbed when it comes to Israel?

 

Seems like everybody hates the Jews and forget that it are the palestines running arround with bazooka's and firing missles at israel.
Luckly that there are elections this weekend (right in the middle of the exams, stupid purple (liberal and social) goverment. I have to study, not waiting in line), so the 6 days war was only one day in the news, followed by another political election program.

 

Today that would be the iSherman

Seriously, though, it is interesting that the medias seem to be forgetting, that Israel primarily went to war, because they would otherwise risk being wiped out by Syria and Egypt, et al., i.e. a case of anticipatory retaliation.

Of course, the same media also considers the Yom Kippur war a victory for the Arab nations, despite the fact that Israel could easily have destroyed the entire Egyptian army after moving into the heartland of Egypt.

 

Isn't it also Palestine's fault for the way their present state exists ? Like nobody forced them to attack Israel (which at the time was land bought from arabs fair and square)

 

My dad said when he went peacekeeping to Cyprus, he saw what he thought were flashes of lightning out the plane window, but when he got to the ground he figured out it was light from artillary taking part in the 6 day war, as his unit was told of the situation and put on stand-by.

 

Well, if they would start to use the money they get from all over the world to rebuild houses, water- and electricity lines, decent hospitals, better farming etc. instead of buying a dozen AK's for every civilian that place would be a better country.

 

This brings me to another point. What icks me is the arab countries claimg about the welfare about the palestinians and yet they hardly give them aid, despite their wealth, and their supposed realtion as "arab brothers"

 

Perhaps their history, that Lawrence of arbia promissed them a own nation in that aera, don´t know exactly. The reason for the contiuning fighting is that the neighbours of israel are envy, coz the jews made the desert green and are more industrious. Little connection to the rhodesia thread, you know, a common enemy unit the people and divert from their own disability to lead a country, poor bastards! It´s easier to deal with the problems of other, then dealing with their own situation. What would you do, if you have to modernise a country and to establish a good infrastructure, sounds to be difficult, but then there is that "holy" prevision to drive the jews back into the sea, oh yes that´s sounds to be much more
importent then modernise the nation. First option: Building a nation = tough work, Second option Destroying israel = easy job to take a weapon and kill inoocent people, every idiot can take a weapon, but not everyone can lead a country.

with the money the muslim world has spent on trying to destroy israel ,they could have made every palistinian refugee a millionaire several times over ..the point is they need israel as a scapegoat to focus attention from their own corrupt and inept leadership for the last 60 years...a world without israel would be much more difficult to manage for the arab elite....

 

Actually Hizbollah gives them a f***load of aid, (real aid that is, food and education) that is how they attain so much support, and arguably why Israel deemed them threatening enough so as to risk a politically suicidal invasion of Lebanon... Iran and Syria also provide aid, if you consider 'weapons' to be aid (which many Palestinians unfortunately do)

And I don't think the extreme left is the majority group, so much as they are the 'most vocal'...

...and annoying

The media may whine about Israel/America every day, but 10 years of elected Liberal (right-ish) government has convinced me that we have a nice little 'silent majority' going on...

 

No, the Socialist Left Party in Norway, which is the only anti-Israel party to speak of, has only some 10% of the votes, but they have an influence through media which is completely out of proportion with their support.

But I can think many reasons why the arabs hate Israel, not that I think they are good reasons or have any sympathy for them, but I can't understand why the left has so much emotional antipathy for Israel. There is simply no logical reason for it, and their retorics have degenerated into emotional porn.

 

I'm talking about the Opec guys.

Hezbollah brought the war to them on purpose, knew the people would suffer, and now they give them aid to consolidate their position in the region
