Let me give you an example. The '67 war happened seemingly because Egypt loaded the border with troops. But it was known that this was a bluff and they didn't intend to attack. Was Israeli justified in pre-empting? Maybe. But why was Egypt there? To make a show of force to support Syria with whom Israel was having skirmishes. Russia had supplied false reports of an Israeli troop build up. But they did that due to Israeli provocation in the area. Source? Moshe Dayan. He said that 80% or more of the skirmishes were started by Israel. We'd put a tractor in the DMZ hoping Syria would fire. If they didn't we'd move it in further till they did. Then we'd come in with heavier weapons and planes. So you can argue that the '67 war was provoked by Israel. Was '67 a good thing? Debatable because it brought what is now 4 million Arabs into our borders. How many Jews have died because of that. Read Zev Moez, Defending the Holy Land. So the knee jerk reaction is to call me a self-hating Jew or traitor for raising these points. Really? Self-hating Jew. I'm saying that Jews are dying because of our aggressiveness. We have to be willing to discuss this point of view.

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions.

He wrote a book called HaTekufah heGedolah which is absolutely full of misquotes, fabrications and distortions. His deception has already been exposed and well known to those who have researched this topic. R. Zvi Weinman documented extensively the forgeries of R. Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra
