THE 1967 WAR AND ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF

THE WEST BANK AND GAZA

Did the Egyptians actually start the 1967 war, as Israel originally claimed?

“‘In June 1967, we again had a choice. The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.’ ” Menachem Begin, quoted in Noam Chomsky, “The Fateful Triangle.”

Was the 1967 war defensive? “I do not think Nasser wanted war. The two divisions he sent to The Sinai would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive war. He knew it and we knew it.” Yitzhak Rabin, Israel’s Chief of Staff, in Le Monde, 2/28/68

Defensive? - continued

“It was not fear of Egypt or the closure of the Straits of Tiran that motivated the [Israeli] Cabinet’s decision [to go to war]. It was the general’s confidence that victory would be theirs and the need to prove to the Arabs that Israel could not be intimidated.” Donald Neff, “Warriors For Jerusalem”

Moshe Dayan posthumously speaks out on the Golan Heights

“Moshe Dayan, the celebrated commander who, as Defense Minister in 1967, gave the order to conquer the Golan… [said] many of the firefights with the Syrians were deliberately provoked by Israel, and the kibbutz residents who pressed the Government to take the Golan Heights did so less for security than for the farmland. . . [Dayan stated,] ‘They didn’t even try to hide their greed for that land… We would send a tractor to plow some area where it wasn’t possible to do anything, in the demilitarized area, and knew in advance that the Syrians would start to shoot. If they didn’t shoot, we would tell the tractor to advance further, until in the end the Syrians would get annoyed and shoot. 

And then we would use artillery and later the air force also, and that’s how it was… The Syrians, on the fourth day of the war, were not a threat to us.’ ” The New York Times, May 11, 1997.
