1973-2006: Myth Busters!
Thirty-three years anniversary of the October 1973 war! The Egyptian Army crosses the Barlev Line. Many would come and say that it was not a victory, but that is not the point. The outcome is that Sinai is Egyptian and Arab today.
Thirty-three years ago, young Egyptian heroes crossed the Suez Canal to claim back what is rightfully theirs.
Does the Canal qualify as part of the Red Sea? No matter what, the Egyptians did not need Moses to part the sea to get to the other side. They were not fleeing the Pharos; they took justice into their hands. They planned, they implemented, and they succeeded. They were the myth busters. Israel is not invincible, and contrary to what is believed, you do not need to destroy Israel, you just need to shake it hard enough to get what you want. [Full Article]

there's a myth about fleeing the pharos because they were persecuted whish had been refuted by recent historians based on the fact that the jews left egypt as a fully armed unit as it is even mentioned in the bible.
...but I guessed they forgot to take their radar unit, and wandered for 40 years before ending up in Palestine. They should have been heading to Madagascar!
lol fadi. (on ur comment)
for the post:
I agree.
but in the political reality now, I don't know how much a national resistance can be achieved.
there are alot of constraints nowadays for a new group to rise in coordination with hizballah.
as for the collaboration with the army, u know it depends on the governmental political decision.
and i guess u know thatonly the telephone diplomacy is promoted as a defensive strategy.
.. nowadays i mean
How about dealing with facts rather than myths for a change?
BTW the guy who "...planned, they implemented, and they succeeded" was called Anwar Sadate.
He was killed by people hailed as heroes in the Arab world today.
Where is Sadate's memory compared to loser Nasser? Is there a Sadatian party in Lebanon today?
"What can one conclude from those facts?" is I think a more relevant question than what happened in 1973.
Mirvat baby, stick to Palestine cuz history and theology ain't your schtick. How about another Taste of Palestine recipe now that Fatah is killing Hamas people or is it vice-versa?
jose,
u know that the army began to be re-constructed under nasser's power, no?
u know that sadat was killed by people he encouraged to rise, no?
now, if what u nderstood from all mrivat's posts is that she is with hamas, then u really need to have to relook to them.
SC,
your comment was deleted for racist profanity. try to be wise next time when choosing your words.
Shmulik. Golan is not on the borders of Egypt. Get an Atlas. Syria and its president at the time - Hafez Asad - did the biggest mistake at the time, and his son is keeping the same tradition. Cheering for wars fought from other lands.
I haven't mentioned any Sadat in my post, and the rest of the comments were not offensive. They were asking a questions - was the war planned under Sadat or Nasser, and the truth is the plans started in 1968 under Nasser. Is that an insult to Sadat? Not really. Egyptian Soliders courage put a Sadat-Nasser Plan to work, is that an insult. Of course not. Was Churchil fighting on the D-day?
Now Sadat brought back the islamic fundamentalism, and they killed him. What have I got to do with it? Rabin was supposedly killed because of his Peace stance.
But I am surprised you're implying that force should be used to liberate Golan and Shebaa. HA would be happy to oblige I'm sure? I also know that one can hardly miss a target in Israel shooting from the Golan Heights. Obviously you have not been in Israel during the war, or at least in the Northern Parts of it?
Israel - or the so called state of Israel - is the master of disguise, and the master of broken promises. I could care less what it thinks or what it doesn't like. Truce - a no-war status quo would do.
Israel is not attacked verbally or militarily because of its love for peace my dear, it's the exact opposite. Israel is not hated only because it is holding land, but because it was founded on war-crimes and atrocities, and continue to be so.
Shmulik,
You got my point: "a decent military showing by the arabs was necessary" to get diplomacy roling.
Now, on the lighter side of things? I wish Israel occupied Cairo and Damascus. I of course say that with no good will meant for the IDF nor Israel, naturally. They would have been beaten blind and converted to Photons by anything the Damscenses or the Egyptians get hold off, ranging from guns, butcher knives,flower pots, and insoles - if Lebanon was ever a taste of the pie - CAIRO and Damascus would have been the Last supper! You don't need an army there..
You know what, I jusssst wish the IDF was arrogant enough to keep moving ahead and engulf two more states? Pitty they didn't - you see, they were 30 kms from Damascus, and 101 kms from Cairo.
The FAMOUS Khartoum declaration, NO NEGOTIATIONS, NO RECOGNITION, NO PEACE still applies for hundreds of millions of Arabs, and billions of conscience people around the world who are JUST fed up of Israeli atrocities. Why should negotiations, recognition, or peace be granted if Israel respects none?
For a change, the IDF were smart enough after 1973 to retreat and give up the land they usurped. Now, Israeli politicians should be smart one more time - hard as it may sound - and give up the rest of Lebanese, and rest of the occupid land. Then they should work hard to start negotiations, and to earn recognition and peace. Or else..
Don't forget that Sadat offered peace to Israel in 1971 in exchange for returning the Sinai, an offer that was ignored by Israel at the time. If Sadat hadn't crossed the Bar-Lev Line in 1973 and shattered Israel's sense of invincibility (even if Israel ultimately came back in 1973), then he would have never gotten bacj the Sinai by negotations in 1979.
"Israel has 700 nuclear weapons with nuclear submarines off the lebanon coast they could kill every life form in lebanon on one order."
Tell me something I don't know. WOW, GOOD FOR "ISRAEL"! How about a nice big star of David on its big white pasty forehead?
That israel could kill every life form in Lebanon in one order is typical of your Godless, inhuman bragging.
What will you do when 'israel' is destroyed in the process on that "one order"?
All this whining over one dead baby. How many babies has israel smashed before Kuntar?
Look for lower fertility rates in Lebanon? Sure! Isn't that a part of your plan you atheist demon, you? You can't stand that israel is losing the birthrate numbers to the Palestinians and Lebanese.
=============
"One million cluster bombs keeping the shittes in southern lebanon in prisons down there. No harvest season. Hundreds of amputations just in the last month. People going blind from cluster bomb explosions."
AND ALL THIS DONE BY "ISRAEL". So seeing that you are so very proud and boasting of your handiwork - tell me something:
Why can't this be front page news in the North American newspapers??
Shouldn't the Americans know what their billions of tax dollars are paying for in good ole "holy land" israel? Seeing that you are sooo sickeningly pompous of your long body of bloodwork in the land of your neighbors and the stolen land of theirs that you occupy - by all means - splash it all over the USA Media industry and let the people of the USA and Canada know how WONDERFUL you are! How bright, shiny, smart, and MURDEROUS you are.
The Americans will be so happy and over-joyed that their billions upon billions of tax dollars are hard at work - bashing the skulls and spilling more blood of Palestinian and Lebanese babies and children.
