Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the start of the Six Day War. I served in that war. I remember the purpose and resolve of the nation. We knew that the enemy wanted to destroy us while we only wanted to be left alone. We knew that we were honorable and good and that they were blood thirsty savages. Much of the clarity and courage we had then have been lost.

We commemorate the anniversary by publishing some photos from that era. Way back then we were not afraid to name the enemy. We were proud to use the biggest bombs we had. We did not call Islam the Religion of Peace. We named each military operation as we pleased and if the enemy did not like it, we rubbed his face in it. “Infinite Justice” would have been a wonderful name for an operation to avenge the 9/11 attacks, precisely because the enemy found the name irritating. Kind of like using pig skin to bury their dead. Works every time.

On the morning of June 5, 1967, I was manning my post on the Jordanian border. I did not know that just before dawn General Mordecai “Motti” Hod issued the order.

URGENT

From: Air Force Commander 050800

To: All Units

The Egyptian enemy has risen to exterminate us. The IAF, the clenched fist of the IDF, received the order to lead the battle. And so begins the third leg in the battle for our survival.

As in 1948 and 1956 the enemy is coming from all directions.

The spirit of past heroes goes with you into battle. Let the memory of Joshua, King David’s warriors, the Maccabees, and the soldiers of the 1956 Sinai war, be the source of your inspiration. They will give you the strength to crush the Egyptian enemy who threatens our nation. With a decisive victory we will secure peace for ourselves, our children and future generations.

Soar and swoop down on the enemy, bomb them to rubble, remove their fangs, and scatter them in the desert so that the People of Israel may live eternally secure in their homeland. —

General Motti Hod did not understand Islam and had no way of knowing how things will evolve. The magnificent victory did not bring “peace for ourselves, our children and future generations”.

Man, how stupid do you need be to fall for this line?

From Western Resistance UK: Woman Urged Husband To Die As Islamic Martyr

Muslim woman of Dutch origin sent a letter to her husband, urging him to become a martyr, the Old Bailey was told today. 24-year old Bouchra El Hor had written to her 28-year old British-born husband Yassin Nassari: “The moment has come where you and I have to separate for the cause of Allah. I am so proud, my husband, and I am happy for you that Allah had granted you this chance to be a Mujihad in the cause of God. I am writing to let you know that you have my support and to remind you to be strong and do not let Satan influence you… to remind you that jihad is now compulsory and we are now obligated to protect Islam, to help our brothers and sisters to fight the kuffar.”

“I really wish I could go with you because I too feel obliged to do all this and look to participate in any way I can. God willing, I will do anything in my power to raise our son the best way I can so he can be a righteous Muslim. I will also tell him all about his father so he can be proud of him and follow in his footsteps.”
