The 1967 war was started by the Israelis but they claimed that it was a pre-emptive strike against an anticipated Egyptian attack.

The Israelis “started” the 1967 war in the same sense that you could say that they will have started a war with Iran if they attack its nuclear facilities. Egypt’s president Nassar maintained a steady drumbeat of threats to drive Israel into the sea, and then he followed up with illegally closing the Suez Canal, taking away one of Israel’s main shipping channels, in an effort to weaken the Jewish state.

That “claim” is backed by a lot of burnt out Egyptian tank hulls sitting on their border.

You may want to invest in a little research, before coming here and posting ludicrous “Israel was the aggressor” memes.

No, I won't do it for you.

You’re an idiot. You think Israel should have waiting until Egypt and the rest actually fired the shots before doing what was necessary to defend and win that war. Face it, you’re just pissed Israel won.

It looks like a review of history is in order here.

After reading up on it a bit, I believe the Israeli account that Jordan, Egypt and Syria all were escalating to go to war with Israel, and Israel got the first punch in.
