"who started the Six days War"

The precipitating factor was an Egyptian blockade of Israeli shipping in the gulf. This coincided with a massive Arab military buildup (400,000 soldiers) along Israel's borders with Egypt and Jordan. Fearing imminent invasion, Israel launched a pre-emptive strike which crippled the Egyptian air force and artillery, pretty much winning the war in the first few hours. So who started it depends on how you look at it.
