Reply #11: Egypt sure thought it did and so did her allies.

Regardless of what some Israelis may have said later, there is no doubt that Israel's Arab neighbors were acting as if they were going to attack Israel in early June, 1967. I added a few more details in another post. I distinctly remember the events leading up to the 6-Day war. There was little doubt a war was coming. The only question was who would attack first and most military people in the U.S. agreed that Israel would have to attack first if they were going to survive. Yes my impressions were no doubt influenced a lot by the pro-Israeli U.S. media. But there is no getting around the fact that Egypt, Syria and Jordan were mobilized for war with Israel in June 1967 and had the support of other Arab countries. The Palestinians were hardly even mentioned. It actually had little to do with them.
