Context: In 1967, a war broke out between a coalition of Arab countries and Israel. Despite being outnumbered and fighting on three fronts, Israel managed to win the war in six days.

    Your meme says that the Arab countries (the guy with the knife) attacked Israel (the assaulted guy who has a gun). That’s objectively false, all opinions aside.

      I didn’t post that meme.
      And for what it’s worth, I believe Israel is currently perpetrating a genocide.
      That doesn’t mean everything they’ve ever done was always 100% evil.
      I’m against re-writing history. And nothing Israel did in the 6 days war was worse than what any other country would have done in the same situation.

        Ok.

        And for what it’s worth, I believe Israel is currently perpetrating a genocide. That doesn’t mean everything they’ve ever done was always 100% evil.

        That’s besides the point. The meme is lying about who attacked whom in 1967. Israel destroyed the Egyptian air force on the ground in a surprise attack. The USA has done evil things, but I’m not gonna lie and say they launched a surprise attack against Japan in WW2. Facts are facts.

        So am I. That’s why we can’t accept a meme that says the Arab countries jumped Israel with a knife and it then defended itself with superior firepower. Total contradiction of the facts.
