Although the U.S also sided with Arab countries a few years later, we still remain committed to Israel, we strive to create peace in the middle east.
I saw a funny story the other day about the a war in 1970 between Jordan and Syria. Well, the U.S. asked Israel to help side with Jordan against the Syrians attacking. Israel honored the U.S. by helping Jordan, but they never once shot from their jets. They only flied low enough to show the Syrian commandos the star of David on the wing of the plane. You see, the reason this scared the Syrians so much is because one year before this war Israel was attacked by surprised from the Soviets. Israel beat them, and this struck fear in all the Arab countries. No one saw Israel as a threat until they realized their strength that day in 1969. I just found it amazing that Israel honored the U.S. and our request, but they did not harm one person. That to me is a very respected thing to do!
Israel was never for war. They were for, and still are, for peace. There have been peace treaty attempts since 1937 and still going on today. They approach the Arab countries with treaties to keep everyone happy, but some turn up unsuccessful. Israel will not give up on peace throughout the nations. That is what I love most about Israel!
