Re: Removal of jewish settlers from there homes
Please read my comments again. I said Israel did attack Egypt in 1956 as Egypt had acquired a very large shipment of Soviet Military Equipment and England and France went along with it. ![]()
No it wasn’t
Egypt, Syria, Jordan were all ready for war. Jordan placed its Army under Egyptian control. Egypt closed off the strait of Tairan. Israel had warned that the closing of the Straits would mean war. Egypt had over 150,000 Men and the bulk of the Tanks in the Sinai.
The Arabs fought pathetically. They believed their propaganda about Israel and lost badly.
Lets examine the war. Egypt crosses the canal. Israel fights back and crosses into Africa and encircles the Egyptian 3rd Army. In Golan Heights, Israel throws back the Syrians, and reaches 40km from Damascus and even shells the outskirts of the city before a cease fire is declared.
As for negotiations. Ya u right. Sadat wanted to show that Arabs can fight and Israel negotiated and they gave back the Sinai.
But doesn’t giving back the Sinai goes agaisnt Israel’s so called plan to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates? ![]()
And doesn’t this show that Israel when given a chance is ready to make peace? ![]()
