Israelis are not the bad guys

-

Some news reports on the Palestine/Israel saga portray the latter as the bad guy. History contradict­s them.

In 1967, Egypt – then led by A Nasser – with Syria, Jordan and Palestine joined in war against Israel led by Ben Gurion as prime minister.

They were armed to the teeth by the Soviets. Their defeat was humiliatin­g, even more so because it was accomplish­ed in six days. Gaza Strip and the whole of Sinai was then conquered.
