Marc, Thank you for your wonderful commentary and truth-telling. Perhaps you are already aware of this, but this week I came across a podcast by a person named Sam Harris. His mother is Jewish, but he is totally secular and, in fact, rails often about all organized religions, particularly those that try to obtain political power. Anyway, his podcast of 5/13 is a wonderful discussion about the total idiocy and hypocrisy of the students on campus protesting Israel and supporting Hamas and the two-face-ness (if that is a word) of college administrators. Please google it and listen. It is fabulous. Thank you.
Marc, Marc, Marc! Isn't it time to cut the BS? Israel won in '67 because it crushed a dummy army that mostly turned tail, cast off its shoes and ran away. We are blessed to be surrounded by incompetent neighbors incapable of organizing a defense or an offense. Don't glorify it.
We are arguing shoes? Point is, the reputation of the IDF is based on the incompetence of its adversaries and that is not saying much. Oh, and I was there in '73. I can still smell the stench of human meat in the treads of tanks. I wouldn't be here today if the Egyptians had proximity fuses in their shells. So much for competence.

Shoes was 56. Many of your criticism of Israel is justified, but in this case, you are historically wrong. It was certainly proved false in 73

I love the history of the six day war. Thank you for the updates and also including links to other articles of interest
