Now why did you not provide an answer to the second and fourth parts of the question.

I answered all of them in my three points...

The Six-Day war was about increasing Israeli territory. The result was that Israel increased its territory. Israel started it. They started it so they could increase their territory. Israel whipped Egypt and Jordan's asses.

The first bit you got wrong - It was about defending land and the survival of an entire nation.

No it wasn't. They could have survived as a nation without taking any land.

The second part that you didn't answer was that result was an overwhelming victory for the Israeli's and a humiliating defeat to the massed ranks of pan-Arab nations ranged against Israel.

I answered this when I said that Israel whipped Egypt and Jordan's asses.

Third part you got right - the first example of defence by pre-emptive stike.

As I said... Israel started it.

The fourth part that you didn't answer was that a large number of frontline and supporting Arab States publically for weeks threatened the sovereign State of Israel, a recognised member of the United Nations, with complete and utter destruction, and to back that threat up they massed their armies on Israel's borders.

Even the Israeli military and some of it's former prime ministers say Israel wasn't in any real danger from Egypt or Jordan (or anyone else). In fact, one very high ranking member of the Israeli military at the time of the Six-Day War says it's an insult to the Israeli military to try to suggest otherwise.

The fifth part you got right.

I know.
