At the same time, and unknown to the Israelis, the Soviet Union mounted a disinformation campaign pushing Egypt to join Syria against Israel. At that time, the Soviets were providing military and economic aid to both Syria and Egypt. On May 13, 1967 a Soviet parliamentary delegation visited Cairo and informed the Egyptian leaders that Israel had concentrated eleven to thirteen brigades along the Syrian border in preparation for an assault within a few days, with the intention of overthrowing the revolutionary Syrian Government. This was a complete fabrication designed by the Soviets to destabilize the Middle East. Similar false information may have been given to Egypt by the Soviets as early as May 2.
The build up and aggressive intent were denied by Israel. UN Secretary General U Thant reported that UNTSO observers on the Syrian border:... have verified the absence of troop concentrations and absence of noteworthy military movements on both sides of the [Syrian] line.
Nasser probably correctly interpreted the Soviet information as an indication to him that the time was ripe for an attack on Israel and that he had their backing. With the United States deeply distracted by the War in Vietnam, the Soviets had reason to think there would be no US intervention. Nassar then abandoned his former cautious policy and took the lead for new aggression against Israel. Syria and Iraq eagerly joined Egypt's preparations, increasing the momentum toward war.
The exposed platoon of Putinistas (of which you belong) continue slithering around FR attempting to spread their obvious disinformation in addition to attacking anyone & everyone who clearly state the facts concerning Putin's deep involvement with the Axis of Evil.==
Putin cares about Russia as he think it is better for her. He is the president of Russia not USA or Israel. So he obviously provide the russian business on weaponry.
Iran and Syria are customers who bring the hard curenncies. If Israel and USA were customers then Putin listen thier grieves more carefully.
Your deliberate word usage as in "Each side wants the Palestine land for herself.." is arch typical of similar propaganda by blatant Arabists. ==
The "Palestine" is georgraphical definition. If you listen The Discovery Civilization channel you heard it a lot:).
Then blame the Discovery Civilization of arab propaganda not me:). BTW same channel spead "vicious lies" about jewish organisation HAGANA which was the "terrorists" againt british soldiers.
The Discovery Civilization is anti-semites:).
The Koran and the Jews-Muslim scholar teaches that the Quran says Israel belongs to the Jews==
Interesting. I trully find it interesting. So those Muslims who build the thier 3d greatest mosk on the basement of jewish Temple in Jerusalim went against Quran?
Very strange indeed.
"There are anti-Zionist Jews who collaborate with anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers"
There are laws against this.
Friend and author David J. Jonsson, in his recent book, Islamic Economics and the Final Jihad: The Muslim Brotherhood to the Leftist/Marxist - Islamist Alliance, states:
"Before the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) meeting in July 2005, Russian and Chinas leaders met at the Kremlin on July 1 to discuss their goals in Central Asia and the upcoming G-8 summit. The meeting signaled a shift toward greater cooperation between the two states, completely solved their long-standing border disputes from the legal perspective, and laid the foundation for greater integration of their state-controlled oil companies and banking sectors. One reason that the atmosphere in the Kremlin was so unusually amiable was the perception that a shared threat loomed larger than their differences in policy goals; that threat was Washingtons role in Central Asia. SCO is a permanent intergovernmental international organization proclaimed in Shanghai on June 15, 2001, by six countries: Peoples Republic of China, Russian Federation, Republic of Kazakhstan, Republic of Kyrgyzstan, Republic of Tajikistan and Republic of Uzbekistan. The total area occupied by SCO member-states is about 30,189,000 km2, or about three-fifths the territory of Eurasia, with a population of 1.455 billion people, or about a quarter of total population of the world. Add to this, the countries selected to join as observers: Iran, India and Pakistan, and this is truly formidable." [Page 287]
"...On a global scale, the emergence of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a four-year-old regional grouping dominated by Moscow and Beijing, is significant. As explained in an earlier chapter, SCO members include China, Russia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. India, Pakistan,.Mongolia, and Iran were given observer status just this year (2005) in the grouping, which has become a prime vehicle for Russia and China to challenge United States influence in the region. Without question, the SCO is being carefully crafted as a geopolitical counterweight to the United States. If it does mature as a competing body to the European Union and NATO, it could signify a dramatic shift in the current geostrategic balance of power that currently favors Washington. In an interview on August 30, 2005, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said Russias unprecedented military exercises with China had gone so well the month before that they may be expanded to include several Central and South Asian countries. He added, 'Do not rule out that the armed forces, not only of China and Russia, but of other members of the SCO that will take part, including perhaps the countries that are observers [India, Pakistan, Mongolia and Iran] with SCO.'
Politics makes strange bedfellows, stranger still, when the odd couple is the fundamentalist Islam and the secular Left...." [Page 410]
RusIvan's comments Putin's arm's deals in the Middle East are "just business" is disingenuous. While America openly supports the Nation of Israel in the Middle East, Russia's intentions are certainly less than forward. Especially their support of Iran's nuclear program which is certainly on a weapons grade track, and inevitably pointed towards Israel ... and inevitably America.
Whoever said the Cold War was over should be slapped.

Oh, no one has ever said Islam was not schizophrenic in content and belief, from Mohammad saying Jerusalem and Israel belongs to the Jews, than completely reversing himself. Evidence that Islam is, and, Mohammad was, less than divine....
Chomsky's PHD is in linguistics. I'm unaware of any significant work he's done in mathmatics.
Thanks for the topic SJ, and C and M for the pings. Well said, M.
When the Jews all gather in Israel, that's when Nasrallah will be a squashed bug.
If you're a Russian nationalist, that's fine. Be a patriot of Russia. But, don't think he's doing Russia any favor by appeasing and arming Iran and Syria. ;) I don't think I need to remind you that Muslims make up (at the last figure I saw), around or over 10% of Russia's population, and is the fastest growing segment. I could be wrong on this, but I don't think I am. Do you honestly think that their proxy militias are going to concentrate on regional jihad? Do you think that by Putin arming them and appeasing them with sympathetic rhetoric that he will transform angry, alienated and rapidly radicalizing Muslims in the former USSR into patriots?
We both know that's not true. Putin is concentrating on short-term profit, and trying to cozy up to China, and Iran. Which is well and good, to a point. But China is going to eat up Russia's east, when given half an opportunity. Or just flood it with illegal immigrants (as it continues to do), and have it secede. In the long term, he's going to reap a lot of the trouble he's sowing for the West now.
And the geographical definition is "Israel". I do watch the Discovery Channel, and its spinoffs, and they use "Israel". Hagana was not a terrorist organization, by the way. You're probably thinking of the Irgun and the Stern Gang; and they don't hold a candle next to the Islamist terrorists. They rarely, if ever, targetted civilians (I can't think of a single instance when they did). In fact, they generally called the British to warn them to get everyone out of the building. They did assassinate British officers, and attack soldiers.
And, by the by, I want Russia for myself. So, you know...both me and the Russians have an equal claim to the land. And who's to say who's right? ;p
Marriages between Jews and non-Jews are, of course, allowed. And, a few crazy Jews converted to Islam last year. Something like 70. Non-Jews are, by and large, buried in different cemetaries than Jews. This is due to religious practice. Which is true most anywhere in the world.
Also, Chomsky is a professor of linguistics. Though a brilliant one, he has done nothing for mathematics, that I am aware of. And he is also VERY anti-Israel. He used to be fairly sympathetic to the USSR, by the by. He is ideologically opposed to Israel. Like, for example, say...a Chechnyan separatist being opposed to Russia.
And yes, I am aware that not all criticism of Israel is necessarily anti-Semitism. Much of it is disguised anti-Semitism, though, which explains the vigilance, and sometimes paranoia, of many people.
Do you believe there can be patriotic Jewish Russians?
Don't take offence when I question you, by the by. I am interested in debate, not insulting you.
We certainly both agree that Russia has her own problems to solve, and that Israel needs to defend herself. Frankly, I think the solution, or at least a start to a solution, to both problems are more sane patriotic conservatives.
Some rabbis will perform it. Few will. You could also get a priest or imam to perform it.
RusIvan's comments Putin's arm's deals in the Middle East are "just business" is disingenuous. While America openly supports the Nation of Israel in the Middle East, Russia's intentions are certainly less than forward. ==
AFAIK from Putin' public comments Russia tries to be neutral toward Israel-Arab land conflict. Sametime Russia does business with any sides who has money and want it.
If Isarel has money and went to Russia to shop weaponry then Russia gladly sell it to her.
As for Israel supporters here I see that for them anyone who are not outright supporter of Isarel is "hater":). Who critisizes Israel even a little bit is "antisemite":).
Seems to me it likes same kind of extremism as of Hezzbollah's:). I better off both of them.
Anti-israeli jews are a darwinian phenomenom. It judaism doomed to perpetual self-annihilation?
Do you believe there can be patriotic Jewish Russians? ==
I think not. If one is jewish then it cann't be russian in same time. Jewish means a lot. Religion the first which brings ideology and alligance.
I beleive that true jews are those who live in Israel. Those who live in Russia and call themselves jews are really conformists.
Everything applies to Russians too. The true Russian should live in Russia.
Of cause one may live temporary everywhere but temporary only.
Of cause there can be people who may change its national indentity and convert to Jew or to Russian.
Such people in Russia we call Russia of jewish origin for example or anyelse origin. So they are Russians but thier origin doesn't concern no one.
But again if one live and even born in Russia and want to be a Jew or else he should emigrate to Israel or to appopriate country.
I don't support the "multi-culturism" as the wrong idea. I think that each people should live in thier own country. Or ther will be inter-national clashes.
