========= Counterstrike LYRICS ==========
Kickstart fighter launch
Throttle set to full
Speed king race to win
Afterburners roaring
Ghostlike counterstrike
Takes them by surprise
Score 307
Israelis rule the heaven
Jordan attacks
Israel crush that
Futile attempt
Control Jerusalem
Drive back, surprise attack
Take the western wall
Next day make them pay
Over river Jordan
Syria last in line
Head for Golan Heights
Strike without a warning
See the Syria forces falling
Syria attacks
Israel crushed their
Lines of defence
Ruling the Golan Heights
Six days of fire, one day of rest
June 67′
Taught them respect
Control Jerusalem
Three nations fallen in six days of war
Traitorous neighbours
Received as deserved
Under the sun in the dust of the war
One nation standing stronger than before
First into Egypt and sent them to hell
Then turned their forces to Jordan
Climb up the mountains, where Syria awaits
Break them in hours
Protect holy land
========= Historic Fact ==========
Already fragile peace in the Middle East was broken when Egypt closed a major shipping canal to Israeli vessels. Israel declared war, launching pre-emptive airstrikes. Jordan and Syria intervened, but all three nations were defeated, losing 20,000 troops.

Basically every major war fought by Israel was without western support, whether it be the 1948 Independence war, where the west flat out refused to send weapons to Israel, the Six Day war where the US had an arms freeze on Israel, not to mention the political shenanigans at the UN trying to undercut the Israeli victories literally every day of the war, or the Yom Kippur war, where again, the West had frozen support for Israel. It was only after the 1973 Yom Kippur war that Western support truly opened up without conditions for several decades, before the inevitable rise of anti Semitic attitudes within the political parties of the West has again caused strained relations with Israel.

​@@BennyDACHO Real funny how some people lie. Egypt Syria and Iraq used mostly soviet tanks that included t34-85 t54 t55 pt-76 su100/152. Only Jordan used M47 M48 and M48A1 Patton tanks. All of them considerably older than Israeli arms witch included M50 M51 M48A3 Centurion and AMX-13. APC and IFVs the only place where Israelis were behind. Airforce was more or less matched. Ground arms where Israel had the biggest advantage over Port Said submachine guns, AK-47,RPK,RPD and DShK vs Israeli Uzis and FNs with actual WGATM that arabs didn't have as they only had recoilless rifles. Syria was already unstable with coups. "In; discipline, training, morale, equipment and general competence his [Nasser's] army and the other Arab forces, without the direct assistance of the Soviet Union, are no match for the Israelis." (James Reston). Arabs were already very unstable and with the backing of western arms to Israel war was clearly on Israels side as they literally attacked first knowing they will win. But oh IDF keep lying and some people that can't read might actually believe those lies.

[@CaptainBill22]

@@quantuman100 Everyone knows that 5 countries conspired to invade and destroy Israel, and they responded by striking them first. Israel only took out military installations, the land they invaded like Sinai was peacefully returned to Egypt. Golan, Jerusalem, the East Bank, and Gaza belonged to Israel in the first place so you can't really call that an invasion.

[@quantuman100]

@@CaptainBill22 Sinai was "peacefully returned" because Kissinger wanted to bind Egypt to the American sphere of influence, the Israeli settlers were very upset that they had to leave, (so upset that they went on record cursing Egypt as they demolish the things they build out of spite) because the original plan was "from the river to the river". and no, Golan, Gaza and West bank did not belong to Israel, hence why nothing outside radical Zionist propaganda from before the war showed it being Israel. And lastly, yes, Egypt was SOOOOOOOOO getting ready to invade, they launched the totally defensive preemptive war (where have we heard that one before) while the Egyptian president was heading to the USA to have America arbitrate between the parties.
