WHO started the 67 war????

Funny I’ve seen maps dated in the 1800’s that clearly called the land Palestine... I’d post one if I knew how..

Yes, Palestine is an area, not a culture or a people though. Basically what is now Israel prior to 1948 was a desolate wasteland, only when the Jews got their homeland back after having it stolen from them for thousands of years, did it become an area of contention. Israelis made it what it is today.

Israel defended itself in 1967. Arab armies massed themselves all along Israel’s borders, mobilized their Air Forces, tank divisions, etc. Israel struck before they could annihilate Israel essentially.

Outmanned, fiughting with fewer tanks, French jets...but superior tactics.
