Propaganda? It's the personal diary of one of the leading figures of the Israeli government during the early days of the State of Israel. To call it propaganda makes no sense whatever. (Carol)

Carol, you didn't get it. I have called the content of that link 'propaganda' and not the few quotes of a diary in that link. Your link doesn't go to a diary as one could assume when reading your sentence but to a A study based on Moshe Sharett's Personal Diary. This study is what I have called propaganda.

I suggest you go back and read it again (the whole thing, this time). (Carol)

Carol, I do not think that you have understood my two points. I have taken no position here to the political development towards the six days war and how the plans of the countries involved were. That is your point and I have posted nothing to this. I have posted a correction to an information you had wrong (how many countries was Israel in war with in the six days war?). You point to a link and I say that get it wrong in that link as well. What use is it telling me I should reread it when I say they have got it wrong. Wrong information doesn't go away with a second reading. The sequence of events in the war (who actually attacked whom first?) is also not treated in that link so rereading the content of that site is irrelevant.

Why do you react as if I was attacking your whole position when I merely correct an error of fact on your side?
