The Goderich Signal-Star, 1967-07-13, Page 5lrhe Blue as 1 e dig Lie. I:I..epected, Re By G. MacLeod Ross There is a French saying, which can be rewritten; "There is always the one who aggres. ses and the one aggressed," and the reiterated.proscription of Isl'ael as an aggressor by the head .of .a super power took up two hours of TV time on June 25th last. ?reinter Kosy. gin made no effort to support his 'contention with facts. He relied on two hours of mono. tonou's . reiteration. Then came the farce of written questions from the floor,„which give no opportunity for the cut and thrust of debate. Would he invite h;B.J.. to Moscow? Not till Israel and the U.S. with. drew! It 'Was a boring two hours. SOME BACK HISTORY 'Without going back 1900 years, when the Jews were ex. fled from Palestine, it is more rational to return to 1917' when the "Balfour __ Declaration" made free with other peoples' rights. As a result the Jews were encouraged by the tish government to establish a 'national home' in Palestine. It was not until 1923 that the same government realised this would involve a Zionist State. Then the collapse of the Otto. man Empire released a new force of Arab nationalism, so that Zionism found itself riding on the back of a sorely weak. enec British lion into battle with a diametrically opposed Arab force. All in all, it seems accurate to say that World War .I impoverishment, plus the Bal. four Declaration, marked the bekinning of the decline of Bri. tisuence with the Arabs. By the winter of 1944445 At. tlee and the Socialist govern. ment were urging unrestricted Jewish immigration into Pal. estine, so that by 1948 'the Jews controlled half of Palestine and Ben Gurion could announce +'T.he . State of Israel."• Presi. dent Truman for the U.S.A. as. well as the Soviets, imme. diately announced their recog. nition of that State. War, be. tween Jew and Arab resulted until the • spring of 1949, when the Arabs signed an armistice. Israel had increased her boun. daries and '700,000 Arabs had . fled. It is these ,refugees and their descendants who remain to this day unabsorbed by the other Arab countries.

Ousted Neguib from the, premlershipof Egypt, by means of a military - coup. He started his dictator. ship slowly with, land reforms until he realised that Egypt needed not just freedom from corrupt dlandlor-ds, but freedom from foreign masters,, He also saw that the country's lowly ec. onomy needed foreign capital on a scale hitherto undreamed of. ' It was at this point that hebegan to play the East against the West and, incident- ally, 'to .show his spots'.' • In .1956 Nasser signed a treaty with . the I3,ritish whereby, in return for the withdravial of British troops, Nasser would permit a base of warlike stores to remain on Egyptian soil. When the basically untrust- -worthy Foster Dulles refused.: a U.S. loan for the high Aswan' dam, he nationalised the Canal and abrogated the treaty with Britain, The Anglo -French -Is. raeli attack of Suez. in 1957 was the result of these actions. If Eden had o not lost his nerve When Eisenhower lost his tem. per, another 24 hours would have probably seen Nasser's eclipse. Instead Nasser kept, his head and won a diplomattc victory from military defeat. He had successfully defied the Western ' Powers, had nation. alised . the Suez Canal and had managed to obtain Soviet 'sup- port in the shape of arms. He had restored sulf -respect to the Arabs. He became a talisman of Arabian pride, MORE RECENT HISTORY In the next two years his intrigues redoubled. Jordan he brought to the brink of rebel., lion. Lebanon engaged in civil war. The monarchy was over. grown. in Iraq. In Saudi Ara bia a palace °revolution was almost achieved, while Syria besought Nasser to. form a United Arab Republic.' These were .his finest' hours. He had called ,into being a new world to redress • the 'balance 'of the ' -old," but he, could not control its excesses, nor satisfy its expectations. .THE GREAT MISCALCULATION • Then a cloud appeared, much • • larger than a man's hand. The Egyptian .government was so nearly bankrupt that itcould not find $6 million t to pay a commercial debt. Arab unity began to disintegrate. ' Nas. ser's adventure in the Yemen, fomenting unrest,was getting no. where. Above all Nasser had failed to challenge Israel. His stock had never been so low. Meanwhile the Soviet Union saw a wonderful opportunity to extend the U.S.A. still further, so they poured armaments into Egypt and Syria for which they will never be paid. Perhaps it was some of these facts which set off the chain of miscal- culation. The Arabs needed a cause again and perhaps Israel could provide it: Syria began studied provocation of Israel. King Hussein of Jordan openly taunted Nasser with hiding be. hind the U.N. skirts because of the U.N. troops on his ter. ritory. Nasser felt forced to justify his role of Arab Cham. pion. On May 19th 1967, after the - first Egyptian troop movement had taken place, an authority in Cairo said: "We'll' get some. thing out of it, probably not very much, except to keep the others (Arab S tates) quiet. After that Nasser played it off the cuff.
