And the left continues to attempt to rewrite the history of the Six-Day War. I remember the war, and some of the jokes about it afterward (it was so short because the Israelis were renting their tanks from Hertz), though it was no laughing matter at the time--I had many Jewish schoolmates. And in a sense, of course, the war goes on, because Israel's enemies refuse to abandon their goal of destruction of the Jewish state.

[Update in the late afternoon]

And predictably, the Arabs blame all their problems on their failed attempt to destroy Israel four decades ago.

This week is also the 65th anniversary of the Battle of Midway. Time flies.

Little Green Footballs had a great post on this subject, today. It's a story of the war, written and published by Time magazine in 1967. Here's the link. Enjoy.
