35. surrounded by neighbors that waged repeated wars against it?
observer ,   Egypt   (09.22.11)
Arabs started only one war to free their occupied territories, in 1973, and were victorious then. The Jews won only one war, in 1967, because they perfidiously attacked without declaring the war. Tiny Israel? Israel's army outnumbered Arabs armies' troops even in the 1948 war of "independence". Jews live in 160 states, and sit in parliaments of 10 countries; there are or were Jewish premier ministers in France, Russia, Austria etc.

Arabs started every war and lost every war. Some details: 1. 1948- Israel did NOT outnumber the arab armies and were outgunned, especially at the beginning. 2. 1967- Blockading a country's port is an act or war, as is bringing up armed forces while threatening annihilation. 3. 1973- they achieved surprise, but lost. Having 2 armies cut off from water and food, and Egypt begging the US to force Israel to allow in supplies...by definition is losing. (We’ve gone through this before but you keep holding to your fantasies.) 4a. Question: Why was the Israeli attack in '67 perfidious, but the arabs' attack in '73 wasn't? 4b. Answer: Your prejudice and totally self-induced blindness are showing more than usual.
38. #37 can you understand English comprehension
observer ,   Egypt   (09.23.11)
U Thant, the Secretary General, had to comply with the request because the force was stationed on Egyptian sovereign territory. But he also decided, on his own hook, to remove the Emergency Force from Sharm-el-Sheikh, which the Egyptians did not request. Once the fig leaf of the United Nations Emergency Force was removed from Sharm-el-Sheikh, Nasser had to close the Strait of Tiran to Israeli shipping for domestic political reasons. (Imagine what would happen today if an Iraqi vessel sailed down the Saint Lawrence seaway into the Great Lakes and the United States government did nothing to stop and search it.). Israel attacked in 1967 WITHOUT Declaring war, although Egypt never occupied land of others. The Egyptian Strait of Tiran was blocked for 6 days, while occupied Gaza has been blocked for almost 6 years; during which Israel waged two major wars on Gaza. Egypt fought in 1973 to liberate Sinai which was occupied by Israel. In 1973, Israel's troops advanced to near Cairo by 101 km, from 110 Km before October 73, Israel's troops were BESIEGED. Supplies, were reaching the third army in so many roots outnumbering the official single rout, for strategic reason! Proof? Israelis could never advance the offensive and were QUICK to disengage to the east after few months deep inside Sinai leaving the Sinai narrow bottle neck of Matla path and others. In 1948, Israel's army outnumbered the sum of Arab troops in all stages of war and acquired more guns in the later stages after Hudnas. Get yourself educated on the number of troops, I suggest googling words.
