Yes Israel hit first but get real man, it called a 'pre-emtive' strike and any retard knows that egypt jordan and syria were preparing to wage war any day...
Apparently I'm older than you to know if you strike first then you started the war.
Israel Military Intelligence: Intelligence During the Six-Day War (1967)
According to Service estimates, the Arab armies would not be ready for war until 1969-70. The Egyptians had large numbers of forces tied down in Yemen backing the anti-Saudi, anti-royalist forces there.
On June 2 the Israeli Cabinet decided in principle on war. The military realized the dangers of waiting any longer: more Egyptian troops would arrive from Yemen, and the Soviet Union would continue with its supply of weapons to Egypt. Moreover, it was understood that the United States and Washington would do nothing to break Nasser's blockade of the Gulf of Aqaba.
So it looks like you know even less than a retard when even Jewish sources admit it would be at least another two years before Egypt would be ready for war. So go spout your nonsense to people stupid enough to actually believe it.

I don't bother answering your queries as you have ignored most of the points in mine.
As far as the U.N. creating a Palestine goes, Israel's response is identical as the 'Palestinian' response was the day Israel was created..."go forth and multiply".
What goes around, comes around. Deal with it..
I agree. "palestinian supporters" have consistently showed disregard for anything(even verified facts and links to said facts) As nothing more than lies. The PLO ans Arafatt have admitted this is a ploy to destroy Israels claims due to their in ability to win in a shooting war against them. As to claims the european jews are not related to the area have also been tested before and more than most do have a genetic marker. the only ones who do not are converts and according to jewish law are to be accepted as if they are and have always been jews. I can already hear the i want verification post coming but you know what? Theres no point because even if i give it to them they will automatically disregard it.
So Israel should have waited two years then when Egypt hit first, respond then?? Gee, I'm glad you don't run a country in the ME. It would be the first one to go down.

Ok... assuming for a second that Israel do all of the above... what would prevent another similar situation to the 6 day war?
What would prevent another similar situation to the 6 day war is «Independence, freedom, justicy and respect for Palestinian sovereignty, cultural and religious rights.»
Theres one group of people who were simply living in their own country. They never went looking for a fight or a conflict. Theres another group of people who felt (and feel) that they are entitled to this particular country and have made it clear that they will stop at nothing to acquire it. But this relatively simple issue (with regards to determining whos in the wrong) has been blurred, primarily because one of these two groups is incredibly influential and has, among other things, been able to mount an incredible media blitz portraying themselves as the victims...

With all due respect voyager.... those things you listed have no relevance to stop Jordan Syria and Egypt if they decide to attack Israel. Therefore, you still have not answered my question. Please try again.

Palestinians should elect a government that is not viewed by the world as a terrorist org... this is first step!
we seek to form a national unity government that functions according to the program of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and we seek to hold presidential and legislative elections

secondly, recognize the state of israel has a right to exist.
This is Palestine that is still looking for peace, and its people want to live in their homeland in safety, security, harmony, stability and good neighborliness with all peoples and countries of the region.
[..]
From this rostrum at the United Nations and in this period of religious holidays, I also extend a sincere call to the people of Israel for peace based on justice, security and stability for all.
[..]
The policies and practices of the Israeli Government and the positions of its Prime Minister and cabinet members lead to a clear conclusion: it is working extremely hard to destroy the two-State solution that we are seeking on the basis of the resolutions of international legitimacy.

The other block you ignore is the "non-negotiable" right of return to Israel of any Palestinian.
If that was agreed to there wouldn't be an 'Israel', would there. They'd be the minority.
Tell me again how it's Israel that blocks diplomatic negotiation?
BULL.
Even when there is a legitimate negotiation occurring, some faction immediately pulls some act in Israel just to derail it.
Once again, get rid of the Persian influence in the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and Hezbollah and progress will be made.
Until then?? Not much will change.

I feel it's you that's one-sided on this.
However, I will cede the Israeli position may be hardening. I believe rightly.
Humor me on this as while you won't agree with the premise, there's an evolution occurring here, politically.
First this:
www.i24news.tv...
An interesting policy statement.
Apparently, a few hours ago he's back-pedaled on this statement. Understandably.
New alliances are forming. Jordan, they've been mellow for a while now, so that's no surprise. Egypt is basically covering Israel's backdoor in a virtual ally pose. Saudi Arabia, there's been agreements on security issues between the two for a while now.
This newest item is a political statement, which is taken the relationship to a new level. Both seeing Iran as deadly enemies.
My view sees Israel almost done with traditional negotiations. They've gotten nowhere for decades. They are now in a position of strength. At least from regional threats. Syria being the only real avowed enemy that's close and their ability to prosecute a war with Israel is non-existent.
Israel may very well take stronger actions in light of the increased attacks. Stronger than previously....
But please spare me the genocide crap. If they wanted to, they have had the ability to commit that genocide any time.
First, they've suffered that type of activity and I believe it's an evil act in their eyes. (Please spare me the usual rebuttal that the only reason Israel hasn't done so is due to international pressure. That is self-evident crap. That public pressure has not moved Israel one iota on the Palestine issue...as most of the pro-Palestinian poster say yourselves, violation of international law...blah, blah, blah.
If those laws and pressure hasn't moved them then those same laws and pressure wouldn't restricted them either. Rather simple.
An accord will not be reached until Hama, Hezbollah and Iran are out of the equation.
If you really want change? Take them on...Israel isn't budging....surely you can see that.....SURELY...LOL

Public pressure is stopping Israel from just "invading" and taking over the Palestinian territories. So they do it slowly, mile by mile as in this last little war and settlement and military installations by settlement and military installation.
The only hope of peace is for more people to side with the Palestinians. Boycott, Divest and Sanction type movements. More countries are taking that stance and it especially resonates with millennials who can see through the politics.
When I say side with the Palestinians, I don't mean against Israel, I mean for statehood. Egypt and Jordan, the two biggest players in that region, don't want war, they can't handle the refugee crisis that would be unleashed. They'll help with security as will the US and most other countries in the world.
The issue is that Israel simply will not negotiate or talk. That's it. That's the only thing stopping peace.
