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.
https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters. Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.
