Forty years after Israel's victory over its Arab neighbours, Palestinians and Israelis are still searching for peace. What is the way forward?
On June 5th 1967, Israel launched war against Egypt, Jordan and Syria.
Egypt in particular had been acting very aggressively towards Israel before the war started; many Israelis felt they needed to fight to ensure survival.
Israel defeated the armies of its Arab neighbours in just six days. It gained vast swathes of territory, control of which is still at issue in stalled peace negotiations. Millions of Palestinians remain stateless. And today they are segregated from their families by Heavy handed tactics used by the Israelis. Collective Punishment is used that punishes all Palestinians, homes are destroyed for roads to be used by only Israelis, or to make a new check point that humiliates the Palestinians who wait for hours to pass through, for work, school, medical reasons & from familiy members.
