    Egypt was supposed to discuss the opening of the straight of Tiran but Israel did the surprise attack because they, always wanted to colonize more land. Later many Zionists leaders admitted there was no real threat

    The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.” - Menachem Begin

      Seems rather revisionist and heresy. Who knows. Egypt kicked out the UN peacekeepers, so that was a big red flag and the naval blockade was technically an act of war. I don’t really know enough about it to argue. I just think that just because it’s clear that Isreal is committing genocide now doesn’t mean we should assume that they were attacking Egypt as some sort of expansion. It clearly worked very well as a defense move.

        Again Israel admitted that there was no real threat and why did they capture palestinians land instead of only Egyptian land? The answer is because they, want to colonize it. I it was never defensive.

        You said you don’t know enough yet you claim that I am inaccurate.
