Can I Put Alcohol In My Camelbak

The Israeli arrogance the occupation of '67 1967 - June 5-2009

By: Ambassador Suhail Hani Daher Akel (*)

From a historical perspective. A common thread with the same strategies Zionist conspiracy during World War I and II, matured in new Israeli ambitions.

mechanisms of a fleeting Zionist expansion asymmetrical warfare on the rest of Palestine after '48 and neighboring Arab countries, driven into the experience of the creation of Israel (1948); international indifference, the invalidity of UN action and disruption Arab arrogance accelerated in 1967 with a double strategy: designing the Zionist dream of Israel Ertz ('Your borders of the Nile to the Euphrates') and stop the internal decaying process.

Since its founding, has never been so divided. The golden age of 50s and mid 60s, was weakened. Most Israelis away from the corrupt state apparatus. Class struggles for wage claims emerged with thousands of Israelis living below the poverty line significantly vary the arrival of Jews to the promised land by the Zionists.

Countries Arabs suffered similar syndrome. His schemes covered under the banner of the Palestinian cause, competing leadership. Without wanting to get to the war, the mobilization to the same, calmed the social demands of its people impoverished.

Successful Egyptian revolution (23/7/1952) led by Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser, defeated feudalism, the monarchy of Farouk I and strengthened the socialist Arab nationalism. Replaced by the pan-Arab pre-European policy. In 1956, nationalized the Suez Canal (in Anglo-French possession and they claimed the highest profit), built the Aswan Dam and banned the commercial navigation of Israel and its allies. Affected

their colonial interests, she won the Casus Belli (cause of war). The Israeli attack backed by France and Britain against Egypt and the Gaza Strip (under Egyptian tutelage since '48), allowed Israel to test its military supremacy. Occupied Gaza and Sinai. Tripartite power won the 'Suez War' (10/29/1956), lost the diplomatic battle. Pressured by the United States should withdraw. Empowered

. The Israeli military for the second time won a war to the Arabs, after '48. For its part, the forced withdrawal Nasser colonial profiled as the visible face, icon, and the hope of recovery of Palestine.

Among achievements and failures. To stop the Zionist provocations and reduce poverty of the Arab peoples, Nasser, established the United Arab Republic with Syria-RAU (1 / 2 / '58). And he played a pivotal role in the creation of the Organization for the Liberation of Palestine-PLO (15 / 5 / '64) as an instrument Arabic, though, far from the Palestinian revolutionary and popular interests.

With a climate of high tension over the Israeli daily provocations of Syria. President Nasser, asked the Secretary General U Thant Thray Naha, the withdrawal of UN forces stationed in the territory since 1956 Egyptian Shram el-Sheikh and Gaza (18 / 5 / '67). Israeli arrogance found the breeding grounds.

Machiavellian. After meeting with chief Richard Helms of the CIA, the head of Mossad, Meir Amit, met and lobbied the U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara (30 / 5 / '67): "We want three things from you: 1 ) supplying our arsenal of war. 2) assist us in the United Nations and 3) isolate the Soviets from the region. " McNamara replied: "I have heard loud and clear." After "he asked, how long it would take Israel to defeat the Egyptians" and said Amit blunt: "One Week." (Parts: 'A History of Israel', Aaron Bregman, 2003).

McNamara In his report, announced the imminent attack on President Lyndon Baines Johnson. No surprise, everyone knew that it was for Israel to attack first. Johnson, only suggested a blitzkrieg to avoid two fronts in Vietnam and the Middle East. The plot was underway and the U.S. green light lit. Located

the Cold War in the area. The RAU received Soviet support, while the United States strongly supported Israel. Militarization of the Egyptian Sinai and the Suez Canal, blocking over the Straits of Tiran (23 / 5 / '67) was the empty pretext to accuse Egypt of violating the UN Law of the Sea. As a result. To Israel was a new Casus Belli.

enthusiast. Syrian Defense Minister Hafez al Assad, was declared ready: "Our forces are now entirely lend, not only to repel aggression but to initiate the act of liberation itself, and explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland" (20 / 5 / 1967). In late May, popular pressure forced the Jordanian King Hussein's pro-Western, joining the Egyptian-Syrian alliance. Finally, the president of Iraq, Abd al-Rahman Arif, joined the coalition (4 / 6).

The rhetorical words between opposing forces were extremely violent. However, while the aggressive Zionist verbiage water was diluted in the minds of the West, Nasser, worried. Clever and appealing to the myth of security, Israel, sensitized the international community with old Nasser's speeches: "Do not enter Palestine with its soil covered in sand ... go into it with its floor covered with blood" (8 / 3 / 1965). ('Howard Sachar. A History of Israel: From the Rise of Zionism to Our Time', Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1979. P. 616).

rotten time events. President Nasser was caught in the sin of the words he dragged him to the smell of an unwanted war. Menahem himself Begin (former Irgun terrorist), recognized: "The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai do not prove that Nasser was really to attack. We must be honest with ourselves. Decided to attack us. " (New York Times. 21/08/1982).

In coincidence. Israeli General Matityahu Peled, added: "The thesis of the danger of genocide was hanging over us in June 1967 and that Israel was fighting for its physical existence was a hoax ..." (Haaretz, 19.3.1972). With

climax of war. President Johnson sent the Sixth Fleet to the Mediterranean to prevent a possible Soviet intervention and "secretly authorized the Israel air transport of ammunition, weapons and armored vehicles, in addition, aircraft A-4 Skyhawk and Sherman tanks. ('Israel and the American National Interest. A Critical Examination. Urbana', Cheryl A. Rubenberg, Indiana University Press. 1986. P. 113).

Premier Levi Eshkol, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Chief of Staff Yizthak Rabin, ended the tension and launched 'Operation Focus'. On June 5, 1967 at 7:45 am, the Israeli Air Force, led by former Palmach a terrorist Zionist, Mordechai Hod, demolished in just three hours 13 bases, 23 radar stations and nearly 350 aircraft Egyptian war on land.

Within a week the Zionist General Ariel Sharon, Israel Tal and Abraham Yoffe, erased the Palestinian dream of freedom. The 5 / 6, collapsed and Israel, Egyptian forces occupied airspace. Between 6 and 7 / 6, occupied the Gaza Strip, the remaining Palestinian territory and the Zionist General Motta Gur, occupied Jerusalem (total 22%). The 8 / 6, occupied the Suez Canal, forcing the surrender Cairo. The 9 / 6, attacked and occupied Syrian Golan to the city of Kuneitra. The 10 / 6, after control of the Occupied Territories at 18:30 pm ended the war, to please the United States.

The consequences for Palestine were fatal. In addition to losing the rest of his country and its capital Jerusalem, "in the course of the war moved from home to 325,000 Palestinian refugees, forced into exile." ('A Report of the Commissioner-General, Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East', A/6713, 30 / 6 / '67).

The story of betrayal and hypocrisy manufacturing was repeated with Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer, commander in chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces, right hand and brother of Nasser. His betrayal was key to the Israeli military success fleeting. Serving prison awaiting trial, was found dead Amer. While there was talk of suicide, Nasser made him pay his felony (09/15/1967).

A hours after the war, the occupying power began Judaizing Jerusalem. "In adjacency to the Western Wall of al-Mughrabi, in the Old City of Jerusalem, drove out the Palestinians and demolished their homes to build illegally present Jewish Quarter" ... "tens of Palestinian villages destroyed and their inhabitants were expelled. Some surfaces turned it into nature reserves and parks, such as Canada Park, picnic site in Israel "(" The politics of denial: Israel and the Palestinian refugee issue ", Nur Masalha, 2004 /" Palestinian Refugees in the RO and the Gaza Strip ', Terry Rempel, August / 2006)

with perversion. The occupying power sector illegally annexed East Jerusalem, uniting the occupied city in 1948 (23 / 6 / '67). The UN passed in June and July of '67, the resolutions of 2252-B, the 2253 ES-V, the 2254 and 242 (22/11 / '67), deploring the occupation of Jerusalem and calling on Israel to withdraw to line 4 / 6 / '67 from all occupied Arab territories. Defiant

. On 30/7/1980, Israel illegally became its capital Jerusalem. The UN is "a violation of international law, demanded not to change the legal status of the city and called on countries not recognize it as Israel's capital and maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv "(resolution 478, 20 / 8 / '80).

Israel, born of the UN probe, made all decisions in ink on paper during these 42 years of expansion of the '67 war.

with impunity. Zionist Vice Yigal Allon (terrorist commander of the Palmach, 1941), called "two-thirds attach Palestinian and build 30 Jewish settlements as a security cordon" (July 1967). During these 42 years of occupation, Israel built 220 settlements, home to 400 000 Israeli settlers. Condemned by the UN. To the far right Rabbi Shlomo Goren, the colonization of Palestine is sacred, "The mandate to colonize the land of 'Israel' is more important than all the commandments together" (Los Angeles Times, 03/01/1994).

The dramatic and painful experience of Palestine, was regenerated in their own struggle. Commander Yasser Arafat, recovered democratically Palestinian people's interests driving the PLO (17 / 7 / '67). Israel, myths and rhetorical terrorism suspects and found a new Casus Belli. Embedded

pride after winning six days to four Arab armies, Israeli forces have decided to end the PLO in the village Jordan's Al Karameh. Unexpected. The occupying army was defeated by the Palestinian resistance. After three days of fierce fighting forced the Moshe Dayan invincible army fled up and leave their heavy weapons (21/03/1968). The occupying power for the first time tasted defeat.

Grief over the loss of homeland, a scourge to our days, and the lesson of the 'Battle of Al Karameh', sealed the Palestinian determination was repeated with the Intifada (popular uprising) of '76, '87, 2000 and 2009 in Gaza. It was and is the decision of the Palestinian people to fight for their dignity and their freedom until the return of Palestinian State capital in Jerusalem and the recovery of its legitimacy from 1948 to 1967.
