I think this is false, can you justify it?
Let's just look at one front. The claimed issue for engaging Syria was that
Israeli farmers were being harassed by the Syrians - they (the farmers) made
a presentation to the Israeli cabinet which reportedly concluded the issue.
Mosh Dayan’s (MoD at the time) record of events when asked about this:
"I can tell you with absolute confidence, the delegation that came to
persuade Eshkol to take the heights was not thinking of these things. They
were thinking about the heights' land."
...and later:
"it's possible to talk in terms of' the Syrians are b*stards, you have to
get them and this is the right time, and other such talk, but that is no
policy. You don't strike at every enemy because he is a b*stard but because
he threatens you. And the Syrians, on the fourth day of the war, were not a
threat to us."
So, can you justify your view Dan – or is it yet more pro-Israeli propaganda?
