Therefore, rendering the limited and ineffective Arab Air Forces and larger ground forces, as ineffective and no match for the superior combine Israeli/French/UK forces.
Listen to Leah Rabin, wife of former Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzak Rabin, admit that David Ben Gurion [the first Israeli Prime Minister], admonish Rabin for fighting "alone" 3 Arab Armies in the 1967 War, while we [Israel, according to Ben Gurion] fought Egypt alone, with the full umbrella support [Leah looks up towards the sky, as she said that] of the British and the French.
This isn't the firts time that the British and French governments displayed their treachery, when in 1956, they actively participated along with Israel, in the brief invasion of Egypt.
As for Israel winning so quickly and "alone" in the 1967 War, this myth will be addressed on a later date, in another post...
