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.
