Israel gets condemned internationally for it for about 1-3 years before some thing more important eclipses it.
People kind of forget just how insane the 60s were something like this would be a blip compared to the other insanity that happened that decade.
Yeah, this is probably true. Tragically, people will get over quick and final instances of tremendous cruelty but will become very bothered by drawn-out struggles.
Additional Palestinian refugees in Jordan might mean the Black September War goes differently. Jordan might end up as a Palestinian state here.
I think their is a misconnection at work here, Israel is pretty famous for foreign condemnation, this is less a issue between world powers and the direct ethnic cleansing in the local area, something even the US would be on board with defending much given the need of keeping not permanently alienating the Arab world.
Population of Palestinians expelled would be 661,700 in and estimated 354,700 in Gaza , respectively. However, according to the Egyptian estimate for 1966 there were 454,900 inhabitants in the Gaza Strip.
That is more than a million people before adding in the Golan heights.
These are wounds that plague the region for decades and led to far more attacks on Israeli land by the traumatized refuges. Need I remind you the idea of the ''refuge question'' being settled has been going on for a long time and the idea that people just give up has been proven false by the PLO, RPA, the many, many insurgencies of Myanmar like the Rohingya where the Myanmar's final solution of ending it permanently failed as the salvation army is there.
I can see the UN eventfully give up but expecting the Palestinians to just give up, Syria and Egpyt who also have their Sinai and Golan population made refuges is very unlikely.
Though I can see the Muslim world at large though a boycott of Israel possibility even Iran due to the rapid progression of events.
A Israel launches a war of aggression and destroys all the nearby state air forces and captures what they say is all of Biblical Israel.
B Israel then starts ethnically cleansing the population despite widespread news coverage and international condemnation.
C What next? Will Israel destroy all the non Jewish religious sites? This might seem extreme but plenty of Israelis wanted to rebuild the third temple. This concern would unite both the Muslim and Vatican/Christian world together to protect what really matters, the religious sites, then Iran would be fine.
Let's be honest, while the Palestinian cause won't give up, would you for your homeland?
Other issues are it won't be a ''clean'' ethnic cleansing. By that the only Arab force not humiliated by the 6 day war was a PLO unit who either fought to a stand still and the Israelis withdrew for other objectives or defeated them. This means Israel will have some resistance in the West, something that will likely spill a lot of blood as they would react with artillery, tanks and air support. Jordan and Lebanon's Palestinian population will be far larger as will Syria, this will dramatically change the Middle East forever.
It doesn't change the overall equation that Nasser closing the straits, kicking out the UN and putting divisions onto the border were root causes for the war, making the war mostly his fault. Israel would not have invaded Egypt if he didn't do any of those things. If his Soviet advisors told him that closing the straits would 100 percent lead to war... and Israel declared publicly that closing the straits would lead to war, and he closed the straits anyway (in violation of a treaty he, himself was party to) then how do we call Israel the aggressor?
it's not like letting Arabs mobilize for war and attack first did the Israeli's any favors in 1973 when they didn't respond to the same sorts of aggressive provocations; only the depth they kept from 67 saved them from destruction in that war, most of the Israeli leadership where old enough to know what happened at Pearl Harbor and Operation Barbarossa, and had... negative opinions of appeasement/tolerating brinksmanship
? Israel did not have strategic depth in 1973, they wanted to occupy the Sinai and Golan for decades as seen by the Suez crisis when they wanted keep the land. They would of kept the Sinai forever if it was possible and exert a large of influence on it today.
Likewise 1973 war was fought with limited objectives of retaking Syrian and Egyptian land, not to retake Palestine, not to destroy Israel, this can be seen by the plan of setting up Sams on for defending the land they retook.
