This is the tape people quoting the 1967 lines never play. You simply have to watch this. Seeing this footage and hearing the words spoken directly by the Arabs in their own voice just blew me away, especially the Saudi King. This is some of the most unbelievable old footage that every western leader needs to watch, and every Arab country except the UAE wishes was never published. If you want to understand why I believe Saudi are as evil now as they were then, it’s because MBS speaks with the same tongue. In the weeks before the Six-Day War, Nasser threw the UN force out of Sinai, closed the Straits of Tiran, and told the Arab world the point was no longer the straits or Syria but turning the clock back twenty years, to before Israel existed. Kuwait, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco pledged their armies to the United Command. Jordan’s ties to Iraq and Saudi Arabia were there to put more men and tanks on Israel’s border. King Hussein and Abdel Nasser, Syria and Iraq, and the crowds were sure they were going to war and sure they were going to win. King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, a bitter opponent of Nasser, joined anyway. Asked if Saudi Arabia would go to war against Israel, he said they were ready to go to the furthest extremity. Asked what sequence of events he wanted to see in the Middle East, he said the first thing is the extermination of Israel. Radio Cairo then broadcast into Israel, in Hebrew, that they would kill them all and torch them. There was no Israeli television in 1967, so Israelis watched Egyptian television and saw the street celebrations, Nasser with his MiG-21 pilots, and the tanks moving into Sinai. The Arab press ran the caricatures of Jews crushed and pierced. Rabbis consecrated parks as mass graveyards. Civilians gave blood and dug trenches. A mother in that footage says she had already decided that if they were conquered she would turn on the gas so her children would not fall into their hands. General Shlomo Gazit, head of Israeli military intelligence research in 1967, says they had gone back to the days of the War of Independence, a threat of annihilation, and the Jews panicked. That is what the 1967 lines were. Armistice lines from a war the Arab states started to erase the country, not a border anybody agreed, and not a map a moderate Saudi Arabia was standing apart from. Faisal was in it. The words are on the tape. The first war was to annihilate Israel, the second was to exterminate it, and in 1973 the Syrian army came down off the Golan far enough that the general staff thought the state was in danger of being destroyed. A Palestinian state on those lines is not a flag and a parliament. At the narrowest point that line sits about nine to fifteen miles from the sea, on the high ground overlooking Tel Aviv, the airport, and the road that holds the country together, with Gaza on the other side. Put an armed faction in both places, the kind that already ran Gaza after Israel left in 2005, and you’ve built the encirclement those wars failed to finish, with half of Jerusalem thrown in. Jordan held that half from 1948 to 1967 and emptied the Jewish Quarter. Nobody who watches this tape, and watched the events of October 7, signs that map and calls it peace. There can never and will never be a Two State Solution, because the Arab intention to genocide the Jews in 1948 and 1967 is exactly the same as it is today.
