It altered the political and military landscape, expanded Israel’s territorial claims and confirmed Israel's military dominance in the region.
This war is known to Arabs as 'The War in June' and in Israel as 'The Six Day War'. It came just two decades after the 1948 'Nakba,' or catastrophe, when the state of Israel was established and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled from their homes and land.
‘The War in June’ looks at the roots of the 1967 War and documents the actual details of six days of battle, before considering the profound long-term consequences of this conflict.
Editor’s note: This documentary uses footage from the Israeli Army Archive at the following timecodes: 19:33, 19:53, and 20:06.

Imagine invading a country, losing badly, invading again, losing badly, invading again, losing badly, and then you try to play victim.
-
As one Egyptian Officer was quoted saying; ''We were trained to march in Cairo whilst the Israelis were trained to battle.''
-
Fun fact: While Israel jets were busy destroying the Egyptian airforce, egyptians were celebrating in the streets shouting 'death to all the jews' because their media told them that the Israelis were almost destroyed by them and that their bombers and artillery were bombing Israel cities. According to the news Israel had already lost 80% of their strength while the truth was that egypt airforce was bombed out of existence. So sad.
-
unbelievable how such a tiny area could get the world's attention
-
'Egypt didn't want war, so they took a bunch of aggressive actions...' doesn't make a lot of sense. They wanted to beat up Israel and they lost.
-
This is what happens when one side is fighting for pride and the other is fighting to exist.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but if a powerful adversary threatens to push you into the sea, you need to do what is necessary to prevent it.
-
So the Arab countries just decided to abandon their territories for no reason even though their armies were superior and no fighting actually took place, and never knew war was a possibility despite Israel saying closing the strait would mean war and Nasser anticipating that with defensive maneuvers 🙄
-
Dayan was always smiling. Nothing could impress him!
-
Why would Israel give up the territory it gained during the 6-day war especially the Golan Heights? It was a war that Israel did not want in the first place but was forced to fight because of Arab hubris and hatred.
-
Leonid brezhnev commented on the Arab bloc from the war of 1967 to 1973 as follows: "We gave them (Arab) the most sensitive equipment but they wanted to fight so we gave them twice as much tanks and armor, 3 times more artillery and even 2 times more air defense systems with anti-tank weapons. Equipped with more teeth than Vietnam, but when they lose they get angry and curse that we can't help them. Sadat also had to call and ask us to send troops to help them. We said no to them they said we were traitors.
-
A miracle how God gave victory to such a small people. After all they are a chosen people.
-
It is not secret who sponsors this channel. But twisting history and facts in a sea of evidence and records is another level. People can just believe everything just like that is yet another miracle in itself.
-
2:01 also incorrect, Israel offered to return all military gains in exchange for recognition and peace. All Arab countries rejected this offer
-
fascinating how the terminology is so flexible (minute 6:44): "Israel occupies Palestine" but "East Jerusalem and the West Bank are administered by Jordan" and "Gaza is administered by Egypt". Why not "West Bank occupied by Jordan" and "Gaza occupied by Egypt" ?? Bottom line - there never was a State of Palestine.
-
I still cannot figure out why this small country with small polulation is really advanced and powerful in everything they do.🤔🤔🤔
-
This 'balanced' documentary leaves out a lot of pertinent information detrimental to the Arab cause. There is no mention made of the Arab promise to kill every Jew. Syrian interference in trying to divert the Jordan River is not mentioned. Israel's statement or promise that closing the Straits of Tiran would be seen as an act of war.
