The Six-Day War: The Myth of an Israeli David Versus an Arab Goliath

Ed.'s note: Although there was vehement denial Israel's IDF executed roughly 2,000 Egyptian soldiers during the Six-Day War started on June 2, 1967 inquiry persists until today. Considering what we know about Israel today being the creation of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin as the "startup machine", the alleged execution of 2,000 Egyptian soldiers isn't all that shocking. Especially considering the long term plan for Israel to be the "startup machine" was in place well before 1948. The crew of the USS Liberty were witnesses to the execution of these Egyptian soldiers and seems to be the strongest motive for Israel attacking the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967 six days after the "Six-Day War" started. It is likely that if the crew of the USS Liberty were able to release the intelligence they were gathering on the IDF's execution of these Egyptian soldiers and the world discovered this, it would have set Israel back in its long term plans. "God's chosen tribe" steal Gaza Strip, the West Bank and the fertile water-rich Golan Heights then knock off 2,000 Egyptian soldiers. Most of the IDF generals and pioneers of the state of Israel came from the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and Ukraine. None of this has slowed Israel down one bit ever since this fraudulent war in 1967.

It sure looks like Trump and Adelson have cut a deal on annexation

The son of an Israeli General, Miko Peled reflects on the nefarious intent behind what was presented to the world as the heroic triumph of an outmatched Israel vs its aggressive Arab neighbors.

June 2, 1967, was a tense day at the Israeli army headquarters in Tel Aviv. For weeks, IDF generals had been pushing the government to initiate a war and the atmosphere was tense. Israel's Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, who also acted as minister of defense, came to see the generals at the IDF command center. All the generals who made up the IDF high command were present. This meeting became known as the showdown. Years later, some would even accuse the army of an attempted coup d'etat.

A fraud

One of the biggest frauds perpetrated by the Israeli military is the claim that the Six-Day War was initiated by Israel due to an existential threat. The reality though is that in 1967, the Israeli army faced an elected civilian government that was less excited about the prospects of war than the generals were. So, as is clearly seen in the minutes of meetings between IDF generals from those days, minutes that are available in the IDF archives, seeing that the government was hesitant, the military decided to sow fear, and they did it very effectively, claiming that the Jewish state faced an existential threat and that the army must act decisively.

The deception worked and over the following three days, Eshkol was forced to yield. He resigned his post as minister of defense and gave it to retired army Chief of Staff, General Moshe Dayan. The IDF generals got the war they so badly wanted. They initiated a massive assault against Egypt, reducing the Egyptian military to ashes and taking over the entire Sinai Peninsula. As a result, the IDF was able to capture the largest stockpile of Russian made military hardware outside of the Soviet Union.

Israel would make good use of the knowledge that came with this loot.

It also captured thousands of Egyptian soldiers who were stationed in the Sinai Desert and caught unprepared. According to the testimonies of Israeli officers, at least two thousand Egyptian prisoners of war were executed right there and buried in the dunes.

But the generals were not satisfied. They seized the opportunity that they were given and decided to make the most of it. Without any discussion, much less approval from the elected civilian government, the army proceeded to take the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and something the generals had been chomping at the bit to take for many years, the fertile water-rich Syrian Golan Heights, tripling the size of the state of Israel. They had finally completed the conquest of Palestine and pushed the eastern border of Israel all the way to the Jordan River.

The military moved like a bulldozer, destroying cities and towns both in the Golan Heights and in the West Bank. As a result, countless Syrians who lived in the Golan Heights, and hundreds of thousands of Palestinian residents of the West Bank and East Jerusalem became refugees.

The myth of the threat

As the generals themselves stated during their meetings prior to the war, the entire affair was about seizing an opportunity to start a war they knew they would win, and not about averting some existential threat. In fact, the word "opportunity" is mentioned several times in their discussions and the word "threat" is not mentioned at all.

One general who was present in the June 2 meeting was my father, General Matti Peled. According to accounts by some of his comrades who were there, accounts that I later verified by reading the minutes of the meetings, he stood up and told Prime Minister Eshkol that the Egyptian army was an ill-prepared army and therefore Israel must seize the opportunity to destroy it. He stated that the Egyptian army, which at the time was recovering from a war in Yemen, would need at least a year and a half to two years before it was prepared for war. The other generals concurred. My father then went further and said that the IDF command "demands to know why this army that has never lost a battle" is being held back. He didn't say one word about a threat.
