Today, is the sixty-ninth anniversary of the setback of the Arabs. The Lebanese, Syrian, Jordanian and Egyptian armies joined together against the Israeli army, but they were defeated. The four armies fought against one army for Palestine, but they lost and failed to destroy the Zionist entity as they claimed. Israel won more lands than before the war, and Egypt, without the treaty of 36 with Britain, would have lost the Suez channel to Israel.
The Palestine crisis began with the Partition Plan of November 1947, and ended in March 1949, when the last Arab country signed truce agreements with the so-called Zionist enemy and Zionist gangs! The Arabs underestimated the Israeli army and they lost. They were many, but had less efficiency. The Israeli soldiers had participated in the Second World War, as its soldiers were fighters in Allied armies.
The Israeli weapons were Soviet, unlike the Arab weapons. The Jordanian army commander was English, but the Arabs lost. The Soviet-made aircraft were driven by Soviet pilots flying over Cairo to hit the Egyptian heart in 1948, as the Israeli-Soviet relations were at best. However, the Israelis bet on America, so America used that just like the Israeli party did.
Later, the Arab countries allied with the Soviet in the three subsequent wars of 1956, 1967 and 1973. Yet, they lost two of them, and blamed the Soviet equipment for such loss.
In fact, the problem was a matter of recklessness, complacency, fragmentation, complacency, and dispersion on the part of the Arabs. Therefore, we should learn from such history. If we evaluate the situation and learn the lesson, we shall prevent another setback.
