{{quotebox-float|Americans in particular thrilled to the pioneering, romantic Israel that had defended civilization against what many then viewed as the Arab hordes. Over the next decade, some Israeli leaders were almost as admired and well known as American pop stars. Moshe Dayan, the one-eyed general who was credited with the lightning-quick Six-Day War victory in 1967, was the real-life Jewish superman, transforming the Jews' image from poor bent victims in the dark European ghetto to suntanned and macho Middle Eastern war heroes. Abba Eban, the eloquent diplomat, was the Jeffersonian scholar-statesman, articulating Israel's cause before the United Nations with Oxonian precision brim- ming with democratic idealism. And Golda Meir, a rare female prime minister during a prefeminist age, was the Yiddishe mama leading the nation, combining a reassuring Eastern European maternal image with an American accent and Israel's cutting-edge pioneering kibbutz spirit.

Despite his affinity for Israel, Lyndon Johnson discouraged Israel from launching a preemptive strike during the tense spring of 1967. Nasser had united the military commands of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. He followed his bellicose threats to destroy the Jewish state with actions, removing the UN troops serving as a buffer force in the Sinai, and then blocking the international waterways toward the southern port of Eilat, the Straits of Tiran. After a tense May, when Jews in Israel and abroad feared an- other Holocaust, an Israeli air raid one early June morning destroyed the Egyptian and Syrian air forces. The ensuing six days of war expanded the Jewish state by adding the Sinai desert to the south, the Golan Heights to the north, and Jerusalem as well as the West Bank to the east.
