We welcome the Israeli aggression. We welcome the battle we have long awaited. The hour has come. Our suspicions on the Israeli conspirators against our great nations have now been confirmed by our Soviet allies. The Zionists’ audacity to deploy their brigades along the glorious Syrian frontier is an open invitation to war- the long awaited battle has come. Israel doesn’t stand a chance. While our victory is inevitable, we must not underestimate our enemies either. Amongst our cabinet are decorated war heroes, renowned generals, perhaps even the most powerful men in the Middle-East. However, our place in history, our legacy, so to speak, depends entirely on the days to come, on moments to come when we face the Arab world’s greatest enemy. What is expected of you, or rather what is undoubtedly required from you is an unwavering dedication to our cause. You must be quick to think, quick to protect, quick to strike. Every second we waste, the Israelis are gaining an upper hand.

    Notes 1 Proper nouns are not transliterated in this book unless they form part of a longer phrase or sentence in Arabic. Place names follow contemporary media usage, while personal and organisational names use either the stan- dard Egyptian spelling or, if known, the preferred spelling of the individual or body in question. Unavoidably, there are sometimes variations in the spelling of names in quoted material. 2 The ambiguous role of Nasser’s friend and rival Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer is discussed at length in later chapters. 3 On the composition of this core elite, see Hinnebusch, R.

Specifically, these reports focus on those polities where political stability is increasingly threatened but which, under the right conditions, also hold the potential to become long-term U.S. allies. The analysis and recommendations contained in each brief are largely drawn from field research conducted by the authors, and from interviews with each polity’s political and military leaders, religious and secular actors, and academic community, among others.

  • THE COLD WAR's LONGEST COVER-UP: HOW and WHY the USSR INSTIGATED the 1967 WAR by Isabella Ginor*
    THE COLD WAR'S LONGEST COVER-UP: HOW AND WHY THE USSR INSTIGATED THE 1967 WAR By Isabella Ginor* The Soviet warning to Egypt about supposed Israeli troop concentrations on the Syrian border in May 1967 has long been considered a blunder that precipitated a war which the USSR neither desired nor expected. New evidence from Soviet and other Warsaw Pact documents, as well as memoirs of contemporary actors, contradicts this accepted theory. The author demonstrates that this warning was deliberate disinformation, part of a plan approved at the highest level of Soviet leadership to elicit Egyptian action that would provoke an Israeli strike. Soviet military intervention against the "aggressor" was intended to follow and was prepared well in advance. "The truth of anything at all supposed Israeli reinforcements after doesn't lie in someone's account inspecting the Syrian front.(3) of it.

In recent speeches, President Obama has suggested that Israel should return to pre-1967 borders with “land-swaps” in exchange for some form of peace with the Palestinians living within current Israeli territory. The validity of Obama’s suggestion has been questioned by both members of the political left and right and in the opinion of this author, with considerable merit.
