Israel defined Egyptian actions as Acts of War and uses it as a pretext to attack Jordan. Great propaganda move.

Did you forget the small detail of Egypt's prefaced pact with Jordan AND then Jordan shelling into sovereign Israeli territory after Israel told Jordan not to involve itself in the war? I guess you did.

Err, no.

How one can write post after post of unadulterated garbage on an issue of which they know absolutely nothing is one of FR enduring mysteries.

If you had a clue about any facet of Middle East history maybe your opinion would have even a minimal value.

Israel did not preemptively attack Jordan in the 1967 war. Israel did attack Egypt and Syria(after their acts of war). Israel begged Jordan to stay out of the war. Egypt tricked Jordan into believing that they were winning and Jordan joined the war by attacking Israel first.

In 1973, Jordan did not join in the attack on Israel and Israel did not fire one shot at Jordan.

Get a clue and stop embarrassing yourself.

The fact is that the first shots were fired by Jordan - not shots actually but shelling of west Jerusalem. Hussein foolishly made a pact with Nasser and when Nasser lied to him and told him that Egyptian bombers were over Tel Aviv he decided to get into the war hoping for the spoils.

In the leadup to the '67 war Israel sent emissaries to Hussein pleading for him to stay out of it - by 1973 he'd learned his lesson and wisely did so - pity, coz Israel could have whipped his a&& as well and Jordan would be Palestine today. And Arafat would be King Yasser the first.

Now dem's da facts.
