This lays out the facts and the history, which has been distorted and ignored by the leftists and the world community, regarding the acquisition of the West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza, and the Golen Heights by the Israelis.

The entire Arab world was arrayed against Israel and they beat them fair and square, with their hand tied behind their back because of the arms embargo.

I doubt that few campus "progressives" know this history.

"Moreover, while the Arabs were falsely accusing the United States of airlifting supplies to Israel"

"Johnson imposed an arms embargo on the region"
(France, Israel's other main arms supplier also embargoed arms to Israel).
(Pooh, a Dim Prez & the French...go figure...)

"By contrast, the Soviets were supplying massive amounts of arms to the Arabs."

"Simultaneously, the armies of Kuwait, Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Iraq were contributing troops and arms to the Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian fronts."


That many countries took on ONE other country, and basically got their collective as_'s handed to them...says a LOT about why the anti-Israeli 'war' today is being waged as it is...huh?
