When did I ever said 1967 preemptive strike was interconnected or not? please do not distort nor twist my statements. It is inappropriate.
Btw I am afraid it is you who isn't aware the basics of 1967 war and Suez crisis.
The Suez Crisis of 1956 and the Six-Day War of 1967 between Israel and Egypt (along with other Arab states) are related in a historical sense but are separate conflicts with different immediate causes. The Suez Crisis was not a direct pretext for the 1967 war, although the outcomes and unresolved issues from 1956 certainly influenced the political and military landscape leading up to 1967.
While the Suez Crisis did not directly lead to the Six-Day War, it set several precedents and left unresolved issues that contributed to the heightened tensions in the region:
- Suez Crisis (1956): The Suez Crisis was triggered by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's decision to nationalize the Suez Canal, previously controlled by British and French interests. Israel, along with the UK and France, launched a military campaign against Egypt. The motivations for Israel included removing the threat of an Egyptian blockade of Israeli shipping through the Red Sea and responding to guerrilla attacks from Egyptian territory. The crisis ended with the intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union, leading to a ceasefire and the eventual withdrawal of foreign troops from Egyptian territory.
- Six-Day War (1967): Eleven years later, the Six-Day War broke out. The immediate causes of this war were different, although the underlying tensions in the region remained. In 1967, the war was primarily triggered by escalating border tensions, Egyptian military mobilization, the expulsion of UN peacekeeping forces from Sinai, and the blockade of the Straits of Tiran by Egypt, which Israel had previously declared would be a casus belli. Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egypt, which quickly escalated into a wider regional conflict involving Jordan and Syria.
In conclusion, while the Suez Crisis was an important chapter in the history of the Middle East and influenced the regional context, it was not a direct pretext for the Six-Day War. Each conflict had its own distinct causes and dynamics, though they were part of the broader Arab-Israeli conflict narrative.
- The Suez Crisis demonstrated Israel's willingness and capability to undertake significant military operations against neighboring Arab states.
- It revealed the limitations of British and French power in the region, highlighting the growing influence of the United States and the Soviet Union in Middle Eastern affairs.
- The crisis led to the establishment of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) in the Sinai Peninsula, which played a role until being expelled by Egypt shortly before the Six-Day War.
- It also set the stage for Nasser's increased leadership and prestige in the Arab world, which influenced the dynamics leading up to the 1967 conflict.
Stop derailing the subject, @Musings already told you to stop. You already admitted that Israel did a preemptive strike. None of this was the topic at hand. Your exact statement was we attacked you in 1967 which was false. I merely pointed out it was a preemptive strike by Israel then you tried to justify it. Whether you think it’s justifiable or not is not of my concern. I’m just going to leave it at that.When did I ever said 1967 preemptive strike was interconnected or not? please do not distort nor twist my statements. It is inappropriate.

@Antonius123 we can all agree we dont need a history lesson. If you dont wish to discuss the current developments, then either ignore this thread.
You are welcome to create a new thread where you may wish to discuss history. This is not the thread for it.
If you continue to post off-topic history lessons, I'll just thread ban you.
It’s okay, like I said if you wish to create a thread to discuss the historical aspect of the conflict, there is no harm in that.The one insisting to keep mentioning it - is the one who try to derail it due to have lost argument.
The 2 members @Unknowntruth @Oldenwisdom...قول بزرگ having lost argument insist mentioning it on and on then drag me to discuss it.
Anyway noted, apologize for it.
These genociders have no humanity , they want to grab all the land they can and will bomb any amount of women and children to get it, these Nazis have hearts of stones and no country or people is immune to their evil.I just took time and see it was you that brought up Egypt.
As regards to the man being shot - He was being interviewed by ITN about trying to get water to his family and being reunited with his sisters and mother. 5 minutes later - shot in the back carrying a white flag. What details do you need?
Look the whole area - there is literally dozens of reports everyday - with video evidence - this is genocide and war crimes - whether its 6 months or a year - this will be proven in a court of law. We both know that. Netanyahu will by then have resign and in the ever changing constitution of Israel - he will be immune from prosecution.... and then the sweeping under the carpet will take place.....
Three US servicemen were killed and at least 34 wounded in a drone attack in Jordan near the Syrian border for which US Central Command immediately blamed Iran.
