The author's lack of historical knowledge shows. Israel and the US were certainly no allies in 1967.
The author's lack of historical knowledge shows. Israel and the US were certainly no allies in 1967.They were, although they kept up a pretense of neutrality. The US viewed the six day war as a proxy war with the US proxy(Israel) against soviet proxies(Syria, Jordan and Egypt). The US kept a carrier battle group to defend Israel in case they started to lose. The soviets didn't like it and almost caused WWIII. Read this if you don't believe me.
