Leonid brezhnev commented on the Arab bloc from the war of 1967 to 1973 as follows: "We gave them (Arab) the most sensitive equipment but they wanted to fight so we gave them twice as much tanks and armor, 3 times more artillery and even 2 times more air defense systems with anti-tank weapons. Equipped with more teeth than Vietnam, but when they lose they get angry and curse that we can't help them. Sadat also had to call and ask us to send troops to help them. We said no to them they said we were traitors.

[@SomeoneFromBeijing]

I've read several books about this war. The authors had different opinions, but my main takeaway is that the Arab Cold War was the main cause. Arab leaders were pushing each other to war while knowing that none of them had the strength to actually win. Their main goal was always to gain more domestic popular support and to become the leader of the Arab World. The distrust and lack of coordination basically declared their defeat before the first salvo was fired.

Would you say that D-Day was caused by US/UK Cold War against the German people? No. All of Israel was occupied land for 21 years at that point, created by Jewish terror groups and mass violence and murder. So I wonder why the Arabs were not happy, and why the US was not happy about German occupation of France.

It is simple, may father “3 countries motivated by hate alone, 1 country motivated by survival”.

[@raysjb]

Israeli general Haim Bar-Levi said in 1972, “We were not threatened with genocide on the eve of the Six-Day War, and no such possibility ever occurred to us.”

[@raysjb]

General Matti Peled, Chief Logistics Officer said "To claim that the Egyptian troops massed at the border could in any way threaten the existence of Israel is not only an insult to the intelligence of any person capable of analysing this type of situation, but above all an insult to the Israeli army.”

[@raysjb]

As far as the hatred of the Palestinians goes, Israel general Moshe Dayan in his famous speech outside Gaza in 1956, as speech that is called "the Gettysburg Address of Israel said, "What can we say against their terrible hatred of us? For eight years now, they have sat in the refugee camps of Gaza, and have watched how, before their very eyes we have turned their land and villages, where they and their forefathers previously dwelled, into our home." He knew Palestinian hatred of Israel was justified, because Israel was built by taking their land and homes, "where they and their forefathers previously dwelled" into Israel.

[@raysjb]

Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the founder of Revisionist Zionism that became the Likud Party, said of the Palestinains, "Every native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonised. That is what the Arabs in Palestine are doing, and what they will persist in doing as long as there remains a solitary spark of hope that they will be able to prevent the transformation of "Palestine" into the "Land of Israel". He said "They feel at least the same instinctive jealous love of Palestine, as the old Aztecs felt for ancient Mexico , and their Sioux for their rolling Prairies." knew and said that their resistance was justified, out of their love for their land, which he said they were the native population, because of "their fervent patriotism."

[@raysjb]

Combine all that (Israel was not motivated by survival, that Israel took the Palestinians home, which is the justified source of Palestinian and general Arab hatred of Israel) with the fact that Israel was the one who attacked those 3 nations, one after another, not the other way around, and that Israel is based on Zionism, an expansionist ethno-nationalism that claimed not only all of Palestine (at least), but also Sinai, S Lebanon, parts of Syria, and the East Bank of the Jordan (Jordan itself), possibly even parts of Iraq and the E bank of the Nile (see Greater Israel) and you'd see that your statement, based on popular impression rather than historical facts, is false.

Leading by example.

He also played in Star Trek The Next Generation, for a few seconds. A series he loved, so he eventually talked his way into a role there. Unfortunately there's some weird US rule that you must be a union member to be allowed to speak in tv series, so his role was silent, but how many people get to appear in their favourite TV series. ....And the fact that a series as positive as The Next Generation was his favourite, tells you something about the sort of man Hussein was, in a region where most people spend their days powermongering, remaining at a standstill, thinking back and hating one another.

[@bentrinker1937]

I feel so bad for King Hussein. My man just wants to be an Arab monarch and grill (run his country and create a dynasty) but he’s always getting dragged into these wider Arab conflicts. He gets pressured into these insane agreements like the Khartoum conference and the continual refugee status of the Palestinians.

Underlying (tactical) causes for the Arab defeat had a large amount to do with very bad leadership from the top down, and tactical inflexibility of the troops. A lot of the battles can be broken down to Arab troops doggedly trying to defend a particular position, but not reacting when IDF troops would maneuver around them and start to roll them up from the rear, flank, or a advantageous firing position the Israelis stormed.

Fine telling, until the 20:40 mark. Israel did not occupy Judea and Samaria (west bank) or Gaza. These areas were won in the war - that's what happens when a war is fought. And the entire Sinai and Gaza and parts Judea and Samaria were ceded by Israel for a peace which never materialized due to the insistence of the Arab world to destroy Israel.

[@taddersauce3672]

No, it’s occupied. Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza are occupied. International law states annexation during war is illegal. It is deemed uncivilised and wrong. Be you Russia, Azerbaijan or Israel. It is illegal. Now the West Bank is to be Palestine, along with Gaza, whilst the Golan Heights is to be Syrian. In short, in modern day under modern law, the Palestinian territories and the Golan Heights are illegally occupied by Israel. Simple as.
