    Rethinking the Six Day War: an Analysis of Counterfactual Explanations Limor Bordoley

    Limor Bordoley Rethinking the Six Day War: An Analysis of Counterfactual Explanations Limor Bordoley Abstract The Six Day War of June 1967 transformed the political and physical landscape of the Middle East. The war established Israel as a major regional power in the region, while the Israeli territorial acquisitions resulting from the war have permanently marred Israel’s relationship with its Arab neighbors. The May crisis that preceded the war quickly spiraled out of control, leading many to believe that the war was unavoidable. In this paper, I construct three counterfactuals that consider how May and June 1967 might have unfolded differently if a particular event or person in the May crisis had been different. Ultimately, the counterfactuals show that war could have been avoided in three different ways, demonstrating that the Six Day War was certainly avoidable. In the latter half of the paper, I construct a framework to compare the effectiveness of multiple counterfactual. Thus, the objective of this paper is twofold: first, to determine whether war was unavoidable given the political climate and set of relations present in May and June 1967 and second, to create a framework with which one can compare the relative persuasiveness of multiple counterfactuals. Introduction The Six Day War of June 1967 transformed the political and physical landscape of the Middle East. The war established Israel as a major regional power, expanding its territorial boundaries and affirming its military supremacy in the region. The Israeli territorial acquisitions resulting from the war have been a major source of contention in peace talks with the Palestinians, and has permanently marred Israel’s relationship with its Arab neighbors.

    Examining the Reconstruction of Egyptian Morale During the Aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War: an Arab Perspective

    Document created: 1 April 02 Examining the Reconstruction of Egyptian Morale During the Aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War: An Arab Perspective by Lt Youssef H. Aboul-Enein, USN Introduction If you say the Arabic words Al-Naksah (The Catastrophe) to an Egyptian, you get an immediate reaction that is unmistakable. For Palestinians, the same term referred to as Al-Nakbah, means the partition of Palestine in 1948. However to Egyptians it means only one date June 5, 1967, the Six-Day War. Most historians are aware of the specifics of the military campaign and the events leading to Israel’s surprise attack and destruction of the armed forces of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects on Egyptian morale and the particular ways in which the nation was able to recover its morale from a sociologic and military perspective. Few Americans have taken time to examine the writings of Egyptian scholars about the 1967 War. Some do not care to study losing side. Also there is the cumbersome task of reading and understanding Arabic. The author will utilize Arabic sources in discussing this topic. A basic understanding of Egyptian history and the Arab-Israeli Wars is necessary for readers to have a full appreciation of the period of time covered in Egyptian history (1967-1973). As the author does not intend to focus on military tactics, this will allow a more thorough examination of socio-political events. The Egyptian armed forces will only be explored as a subsection of society. This paper will explore the emotions of the military, Egypt’s youth, social questioning of the defeat, the effect the war had on popular culture, the reform of the military and finally the effects on the country’s political culture.
