Sparta's posted article identifies the blockade of the Straits of Tiran as the fundamental causus belli, gives a strong geopolitical reason why this blockade was totally unacceptable to Israel, and provides backup with several international agreements showing why this was unacceptable and a reasonable cause for war.
The article you posted doesn't address this issue at all, and basically we must take it on faith, from Noam Chomsky no less, that all those Egyptians massing in the Siani, combined with the blockade they conveniently fail to mention, meant no harm. Interesting. And revealing all at once.

Seti 1 is a complete and total Israel hater in sheeps clothing, his posting history and my interactions with him have confirmed it.
You can always count on him to show up with discredited left wing sources with no evidence, then to abandon the thread after he's been bested.
Seti 1 is the lowest form of Freeplife.
