I stream sometimes: twitch.tv/historynerdlive
The Six Day War of 1967 was a conflict fought by the country of Israel against numerous Arabic countries, the three at the forefront being Egypt, Jordan and Syria with Iraq sending over troops to fight the Israelis. This conflict is animated wonderfully by the channel Kings and Generals.
Do you learn much or anything at all about the Six Day War in your general education schooling? I certainly didn't learn much about it!
We jumped from basic Cold War stuff to the 90s very quickly-
@@DuckLovesHistory lol
Well I'm Israeli so yes (: would love if you watch the rest of Kings and generals' videos on Israeli-Arab conflicts, aspecially 1948 the first arab-Israeli war
Hello and thanks for the video.
I want to tell you that the military equipment of the State of Israel was bad, and very, very outdated ...
Israel's planes came from France used, the rifles were of the older generation, and Israel's ammunition was almost gone ...
The State of Israel won with the help of excellent intelligence that came thanks to brave and daring spies like Eli Cohen, and excellent planning of the attacks.
Becous im from israel. I know same details. But the formal education sistems . Delibertly hide the details. Becous they want to push the falls nerativ off israeli colonialism and accupation. The dont want anyone to have simpaty or aprishiation for israel. How realy was aunderdog position at the time. And they allsow want to put same blam on usa. So they can push usa policies against israel. To pleas the arabs.
Israel was under an arms embargo at the time most of the jets israel used during this war where either french or copies of french planes.
the Israeli air force used mirage and Mystère airplanes - from French. the Arabs used mig and Sukhoi airplanes- from the soviet union - about equal quolity/ the real advantage of the israeli air force was better ground crews. the Israeli ground crews were much faster than any other in the world and could prepare an aircraft returning from a mission for another mission in record time. that was the key to the success of operation "moked"
Israel had American aircraft
@@maisamsadigi1658don't confuse with the Yonkipour war, at the 6 days war Israel didn't had good relationship with USA. At the 6 days war Israel mostly used french aircrafts.
@@maisamsadigi1658no they didn't
Arabs also used British Hawker Hunter
in Six Day War the US still not a major weapon supplier for Israel. In fact Israel did not use US-made fighter but mostly French Mirage fighter while the Arab Air Force use Mig-21 considered top-of-the-line fighter in that era. Israel procured the first US-made fighter in 1968, a year after Six Day War
Jordan used British Hawker Hunter and they were on par with Mirage
My grandfather faught in this war, he was one of the israeli pilots that attacked egypt and jordan in operation focus.
Mad respect bro
@@AA-do1vw thanks 🙌
Your grandpa’s a hero.
@@FlaviusBelisarius-ck6uv thank you bro 🙌 i love my grandpa so much, he's my hero...
Giga chad
During the six day war, Israel had no American support while the Arabs had Soviet support
Very tru
and while 1973 isreal have the support and Egypt won the war 😂
@@fatmatota1806 Egypt didn't win that war... And the American aid started mid-way
Yes
@@fatmatota1806 lmao Israel won that war buddy
The Arab weapons were very advanced at the time, they git the latest weapons from the USSR, while Israel fought with WW2 era European weapons and planes... (the US started supporting Israel only later)
My dad fought in this war. He was Golani Brigade (on the Golan Heights). A few things that you, and seemingly all Americans, don't know/get wrong. While we (the U.S.) supply Israel with lots of weapons today (and vice versa Israel has lots of weapons and tech we use here) the planes were certainly NOT "top of the line" or "state of the art". Most of the equipment was left over WW2 stuff. The other countries had comparable or superior tech back in '67. There were a few key differences, though, and it wasn't (at that time) the tech.
First, Israel was a quasi-westernized free country whereas the other side were not. This means the information individual soldiers got was quite different on the Israeli side vs other side. My dad talks about Amer (Egyptian General) going on the radio declaring "We've stormed the gates of Tel-Aviv" when my dad and his fellow soldiers, who had been up for 3 or 4 days, laughed asking "where are these gates?! ". There was lots of miscommunication/propaganda on the "Arab" side between the other countries and from the brass down to the average foot soldier. Of course, there was propaganda on the Israeli side, too but it wasn't on the level of lying to allies about capturing a major city when, in fact, they retreated. The (mis)communication between the "Arab" countries was egregious and cost them many lives.
Second, at least back in '67 (I think this is still true but I'm not certain) the average Israeli soldier had a lot more agency than even the average American soldier - let alone the soldiers of Egypt, Syria, Jordan. That means that a soldier on the ground with a mission can - and did - make a change to the mission or target once on the ground if there is something that they see that changes the circumstances. The soldier can take the initiative. In the air force the pilots were allowed customize their planes. A story I've often heard is pilots would put mirrors (like rear view car mirrors) in the cockpit for a better field of view. Little things like this made a huge difference for a variety of reasons. While the Israeli conscripts were completely aware they were fighting for the actual survival of their country, the average Egyptian or Syrian soldier had very little information about what was actually going on, very little reason to really dig their heels in and fight.
There's a whole lot more but just understand it was not because Israel had better gear and tech back then; they didn't. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll ask my pops.
Egypt and the other arab nations were weakend by other conflicts at that time. And did not even want to go to war, that is the reason why the egyptian president was in the US at the time war was declared, he wanted to negotiate the opening of the blocked strait. That why israel was in such hurry to attack, they didnt want to loose their justification. How is the feeling knowing your dad fought for the agressor side of the conflict?
18:46 no, the israeli army had old French planes, while the egyptians had new superior soviet union jets and anti-aircraft missiles from the soviet union, and also syria did. Israel overall was much less equipped. The arabs had much better tanks, more land, more money, more soldiers, a much better airforce, and it was 3 countries attacking israel at the same time. Israel won because it had amazing strategies.
Israel's planes came from France not USA.
My friend’s grandpa was a pilot in 1967. He says Operation “Moked” (Focus) was planned years in advance for the next war. So they were ready to execute the operation on short notice for years.
and we won in the 1973 😀
@@fatmatota1806 thats what they told you 😂
@@fatmatota1806 how?
@Apollion Sacrez Leonard we don't hate jews we hate isn'treal
@@fatmatota1806 that is litterely can't be less true, israel could have kept going to the heart of egupt but the soviat union said that they would get involved
Hello!
I think you should definitely watch more Kings and Generals videos, most of them are high quality and quite good.
Do the 1973 Yom Kippur War by Kings and Generals next. Both the Sinai and Syrian/Golan fronts.
I suggest the Battle of Greece series of the same channel. Their videos are really good in detail and animation indeed
Please do more Kings and Generals reactions. They just finished the covering the Thirty Years War and sometimes cover fictional history like Game of Thrones. As of this time of writing, I just finished watching their video of El Cid.
Operation Focus (the surprise attack that basically wiped out the Arab air force) was the decisive victory in that war, after that the Arab ground forces were at the mercy of the IDF on open ground. The large disparity in casualties basically prove that if you manage a strategic surprise like Israel did in this war, you can achieve truly lopsided results.
No side had any significant advantage over the other in equipment quality, it was pure speed and surprise that did the trick.
That isnt true. All military experts and intelligence stated that Israel would defeat a combined Arab force within 7-10 days.
You should know that almost every israeli who lives today, has a father or grandfather that participated that war.
This is very true.
4:45 nah man they were french planes
That's right. in 1967 the US-Israel military relations did not exist yet.
First purchase of US planes was the A-4 in 1968- one year after this war.
Also the Russians supplied the Egyptians with top of the line planes including Russian pilots that fought
I did watching this and I'm empress
The israelis acc used French planes not American planes
Why are you so awesome?
The description in the film lacks the main point and that is actually all the problems - Egypt and other Arab countries, for months held parades in the streets in which they described how they would slaughter the Jews, rape the women and murder all the children and throw their bodies into the sea -
The entire audience, millions of Arabs, took to the streets and shouted, "We will come to slaughter you Jewish dogs" - on the other hand, no government in the world wanted to help Israel and calm the situation - the whole world had already accepted the fact that Israel would be destroyed!
The British, who are the only ones responsible for the Palestinian problem, and the French did even more to prevent Israel from receiving weapons that it had purchased with money - the US was not interested because Israel was a country founded by socialists and is therefore not on the political map of the US and the Soviet Union decided to go with the majority and provided modern technology weapons to the Arabs.
Israel, as always, was left alone with herself in front of the whole world - when no one in the world wanted to interfere in her destiny anymore -
Israeli air force was based on French aircrafts since the Americans didn't consider Israel as a significante force at that time
Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalms 124)
React to the American tank meme by potential history please!!!!
I can teach Israel military history, I served with pride for 15 years in the 370 division or Ugda 370 if you preffer the hebrew name, and we kicked their sorry asses back to Egipt,Jordan and Siria.THe U.S. did not sell arms or aiplanes to Israel then. Israel had old mirage III and Mystere airplanes. a little known fact, Siria used german wwii tanks because they said they will finish what Hitler did not, sufice to write that all their bravado ended in an outstanding defeat of all the arab armies.
The Israeli airplanes were made in Israel based on the French Mirage
We are not the reason for this war but we will be the reason it that will end it 🇮🇶🇸🇾🇵🇸🇯🇴🇱🇧😡
You are
I hope Israel will capture Syria Lebanon and Jordan
Yes you are
@@Marcos-ms1ij please don’t lie to yourself ..
the USA was not supliing weapons to isreael
😂😂😂😂 really
@@maisamsadigi1658yup, the Israel-US military relationship didn't exist at this time... Ate your people just way too fucking dumb? Everyone else with common sense and aren't alienated knows this
All Israeli equipment and supplies, planes, tanks were American and and Arabs had ussr made equipment and not as many planes of the highest quality even for the time at the time
Israel fought to steal the fertile lands of the Golan, attack the Sinai, and expand into lands it does not own, which is the land of Palestine.
