The literary elite is using the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem to make Israel’s greatest victory synonymous with tragedy.
It’s the new “nakba,” that being the Arabic word for “catastrophe” that Palestinians and their allies give to Israel’s victory in its 1948 war of independence, after Arab governments rejected the partition plan and declared war on the infant Jewish state. Palestinians could have had their own state all those decades ago, but chose war instead — and lost.
There is something utterly nasty in trying to take a rare bright spot on the dark timeline of Jewish history and blot it out with black ink.
Yet this is exactly what Israel’s tireless critics are hoping to do with the reunification of Jerusalem, which took place on June 7, 1967, as Israel again fought another defensive war and managed to capture eastern Jerusalem, including the Western Wall — one of the holiest places in all of Judaism.

Brigadier General Shlomo Goren, later to become the Chief Rabbi of Israel, blew a shofar and recited this prayer t the Temple Mount with gunfire still in the background:
[Translation: Merciful God in heaven, may the heroes and the pure, be under thy Divine wings, among the holy and the pure who shine bright as the sky, and the souls of soldiers of the Israeli army who fell in this war against the enemies of Israel, who fell for their loyalty to God and the land of Israel, who fell for the liberation of the Temple, the Temple Mount, the Western Wall and Jerusalem the city of the Lord. May their place of rest be in paradise.
Merciful One, O keep their souls forever alive under Thy protective wings. The Lord being their heritage, may they rest in peace, for they shalt rest and stand up for their allotted portion at the end of the days, and let us say, Amen.]

The terms NAKBA in Arabic mean catastoprhree not JUST that they lost the 1948 Jihad war against the Jews but that Israel exists at all. So when they say NAKBA, they don't just mean, crap, we lost the war. No, they mean Jews are still breathing.
The term NAKSA means set back and that is how they view the 1967, Six Day War. But, this implies that there is only a TEMPORARY state of setback. Their true aim is to rectify both the NAKBA AND NAKSA by eliminating Israel. Any other way they explain it, is lies, all lies and they know it.
No.
These things are working. Why should they stop? Look at all the concessions the invading barbarians are getting from the Euroweenies. They are more worried about ‘backlash’ against the barbarian than they are about the barbarians’ victims.
Instead, we need to adopt the enemy’s own practices - no compromises, no mercy, no peace, and no quarter with them short of their abject submission.
