In few days, 40 years will have passed on the anniversary of the Six Days War, a war that Israel was well organized, well planned and well organized offensive war during which Israel routed and in very bad and humiliating way the armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria.
The late Jamal Abdul-Nasser as the leader of Egypt and his entire incompetent and corrupt government should take full responsibility for such an absolute failure. Nasser as leader should have known that his country and his government not only are ill prepared for such a war, but are totally incompetent to successfully manage such war. Arab leaders of Jordan, Syria and Egypt should be held accountable for such a total and miserable failure. It is difficult to even conceive that such leaders not only stayed on but continue to lead their nations after such a catastrophic failure.
Nasser leader of this war was nothing more than totally stupid, reckless and irresponsible and for this reason I could not ever forgive Nasser and his regime for such failure that put more than 4 million Arabs under total Israeli military occupation for 40 years.
Not only the Arab leaders knew and should have known their armies are ill prepared but are unfit to lead a solid defense and put the advancing Israeli army at check.
I am one of those who do recognize that Nasser was a charismatic leader who gave the Arabs a sense of honor and pride, but his regime was corrupt and incompetent to the core with Egypt nothing more than a dictatorship run by incompetent fat and slob’s military leaders and officers. Both Nasser and Abdul-Hakim Amer should have committed suicide for leading the Arabs in such a failed war to start with and both should have committed suicide or should have faced the firing squad.
One could not understand how such a graduate of Sand hurts like the late King Hussein could have agreed to allow the Egyptian military leadership when he should have known better. King Hussein also shares the blame. Yes, he was sucked into this war and was bullied by Nasser to join this war, however he should have known better.
In my mind, Nasser and his regime can only be remembered as the Arab regime that put some 4 million Arabs in the ever lasting Israeli jail and is the one that is solely responsible for the loss of East Jerusalem. No one should forgive Nasser for that.
I was in the US Army during the 67 War, and I can only remember the voice of Ahmed Said, that professional propagandists and liar who was telling his listener on Sawat Alarab how successful the Egyptian Army was and how Israeli jets where falling off like skies. The entire Nasser regime was a total fraud.
Speaking of another fraud, the Independent news paper in its Sunday edition of May 26th June published an expose by Donald McCicntyre http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article2584164.ece of how the judge Theodor Meron, then legal advisor of Israel’s foreign ministry when he published a legal opinion at the time telling Israeli leaders at the time, that Israel’s military occupation is illegal under international law and that all Israeli settlements are deemed illegal also.
However Israeli leaders who were so anxious to start the war wanted more land to realize their dream of a greater Israel and wanted to secure by war what they failed to get from the UN.We need to keep in mind that Judge Theodor Meron is one of the worlds leading international jurist and is well qualified to speak out on what is legal and what is not illegal. To his credit and his profession, judge Meron continue to be of the same opinion. Well, perhaps it is time for Palestinians to join the Palestine Agency at http://www.aplestineagency.com and do something about 40 years of fraud, corruption, incompetence and illegal occupation.
