Jordan (((Aggression)))

Raid on Samu (1966) - In response to the deaths of three Israeli soldiers from landmines, the Israelis sent in a large Invasion Force including tanks followed by aircraft. In an act of collective punishment the IDF forced everyone into the Town Square to watch as they demolished their houses, some 125 in all.

CIA document: ''King Hussein had made a sustained effort to avoid provocations to Israel this has involved such steps as preventing Arab sabots from Crossing from Jordan into Israel and keeping his armored forces east of the Jordan River these measures have been politically unpopular at home and have subjected him to criticism from other Arab states. The recent raid involved an infantry Brigade supported by armor aircraft and artillery it resulted in about 50 deaths half of them Jordanian soldiers and in the destruction of about 150 buildings. Ge is aware that retaliation carries the risk of an expanded conflict which could involve the bulk of his army a process in which the latter would almost certainly be defeated. The Israeli raid seems illogical and miscalculated to us.''

National Security adviser, Walt Rostow: ''Retaliation is not the point in this case. This 3000 man raid with tanks and planes was out of all proportion to the provocation and was aimed at the wrong Target. In hitting Jordan so hard the Israelis have done a great deal of damage to our interests and to their own. They've wrecked a good system of tacit cooperation between Hussein and the Israelis continuing this kind of cooperation will be all but impossible now which stung for the US even more when considering we've spent $500M to Short him up. we might begin putting out the line with our Jewish friends here that the US can't go on supporting Israel's interests in the Middle East unless the Israelis themselves show some intent over the long run to reach an accommodation with the Arabs.''

Washington responded to the Samu incident by speeding up the delivery of f104 aircraft to Jordan. Rostow acknowledged that: ''No matter what we do, the Israelis and their friends will object but we're just cleaning up the mess that Israel's rate created and we taken Israel's military concerns into account.''

Rostow told Johnson: ''Their December rate on Samu precipitated our emergency military assistance to Jordan costing us about $9M. While we made no commitment to match exactly for Israel what their action at Samu forced us to in Jordan, ambassador to the United Nations Arthur Goldberg under continuing pressure in New York feels strongly we should do nearly that.'' (pressure from New York, a euphemism for the lobby) The Israelis considered Goldberg an asset and even referred to him by a code name, Minasha.

Six Day War (1967)

With Kennedy assassinated and Lyndon Johnson as president, UN peace keeping forces were removed from the Egyptian border.

Provocation - Johnson telegram to PM Levi Eshkol: ''The Soviets tell me that they have information that you are preparing to take military action against your Arab neighbors and provoke a conflict which would be fraught with great consequences. they tell us that they know the Arabs do not wish a military conflict. Israel just must not take any preemptive military action and thereby make itself responsible for the initiation of hostilities. unilateral action on the part of Israel would be irresponsible and catastrophic.''

State Department telegram from May 27th: ''on behalf of all Arab ambassadors Lebanese Kuwaiti and Libyan ambassadors called on the secretary May 27th on instructions that their governments Express concern of Arab countries about present Arab Israeli crisis. ambassadors emphasized that no Arab State wanted to start war and no one wanted unfriendly relations with the US.''

Yitzhak Rabin, Chief of Staff of the IDF said in 1968 that: ''the two divisions that Nasser sent to Sinai on May 14th would not have been enough to unleash an offensive against Israel he.''

Deputy Ezra Whitesman: ''there was never a danger of extermination.''

Years later in 1982, Israeli PM Manachem Begin declared: ''We must be honest with ourselves we decided to attack him.''

On the first day of the Six Day War, White House Councel, Harry McPherson would be lied to by, foreign affairs minister, Abba Eban: ''they were saying that they were hit by the Egyptians, were attacked by the Egyptians, and they had counterattacked. it didn't seem right to me and I kept asking about this I kept saying, 'well where did they hit you,' and he said, 'oh there were big movements down in the Sinai in the Negev.' I said, 'into Israel?' and he said, 'it was imminent'. it was coming.' I said, 'but did but did they cross over? it's vital for the president to know, is he going to be talking on behalf of a country that was literally attacked or a country that launched a preventive attack,' and he said, 'they were right there.' at that time, the air rate siren went off again and he kept talking and he didn't make a move. nobody made a move to go underground. finally one of them said, 'shouldn't we go underground?' and general Yariv looked at his watch and thought for a minute, and said, 'no, that won't be necessary,' and suddenly the whole thing just broke open. of course it wasn't necessary. There weren't any damned Arab airplanes left.'' 

CIA document: ''an analysis of presently available information suggests that Israel fired the first shots today.''

Israel kicked off the war by bombing an Egyptian air-force runway with of-the-record intelligence from CIA Chief of Counter Intelligence, James Angleton. Israel would execute Egyptian POWs throughout this conflict, ultimately winning, taking Gaza and Sinai from Egypt, the West Bank/East Jerusalem, from Jordan and the Golan Heights from Syria.

Operation Cyanide - The US had initially intended to get involved with the war, cooperating with the Israelis to stage a false flag attack on a US vessel, the USS Liberty, as a justification for doing so.

Unfortunately for them, when the inept Israelis attacked the ship, they failed to sink it, so the US jets dispatched to attack Cairo were called back, and the whole thing was covered up, with survivors of the Liberty being threatened to stay quiet.
