Changes

In the previous Israel was forced to deal with several threats from Arab leaders. Already in 1965 Egyptian dictator Gamal Abdel [[Nasser]] announced: “We shall not enter Palestine with its soil covered in sand, we shall enter it with its soil saturated in blood”. On May 22, 1967 Syrian leader Nureddin al-Attasi told his troops “We want a full scale, popular war of liberation to destroy the Zionist enemy”.

''Nasser re-blocked the Straits of Tiran for Israeli sailing, provoking a wave of hysterical lust for war among millions of Arabs, in all their countries.  Some of these actions were enough to make the war inevitable.  When Israel went to war defending against Egypt, Jordan attacked Israel, even though Hussein was promised to honor the ceasefire agreement if he refrained from intervening.  The aggression of Syria, whose army launched an attack on upper Galilee settlements, it was visible to all.''<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=rnEBAAAAMAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=Genocide Ruppin, R. (1971). Us, Them and the Land of Israel /‏‬‎. Israel: Sherut ha-pirsumim. p.36].</ref>
