Isaiah 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!In 1956 Israel withdrew from Sinai on a US promise that the Arabs would not again blockade Israeli shipping through Eilat.
In 1967, Egypt blockaded Israeli shipping.
Israel begged Johnson to send one US ship to test the blockade. Egypt would have never risked blockading a US ship. The blockade would have failed and tension possibly dissipated. Johnson refused.
The 1967 war and all that it produced resulted.
Israel can't make deals with the Arabs so it makes deals with the US which the US then fails to perform.
Unending war.
Isaiah 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!The US performed, Carter got Egypt the Sinai bacl, just like Ike did.
