The Arabs and their armies have and never will get over their shame at losing a war they were so convinced on winning. Shame is the number one sin among Arabs and with shame comes revenge. They've been trying since 1948, and will never let up. As far as facts, the university students have been too indoctrinated to deal in facts, and even when presented with them (if they had the ability to actually listen) they'd need the time to analyze and connect the dots, something they don't want to invest in. It's easier to run around in trendy costume , keffiyehs and Palestinian flags, screaming and shouting about intifada. Because as we all know, that will make a huge difference in the quality of life for the Palestinians.

If we’re talking facts, when you encounter progressive or academic left lies that Israel started the 1967 war:

1. Egypt was the initial target on June 5th, because it imposed a blockade on Israel’s Red Sea port of Eilat in the lead up to the war. That was an illegal act, and Egypt was warned multiple times about it.

2. Jordan shelled Israel on June 5, killing 20 Israelis, wounding 1000, damaging 900 houses. Israel warned Jordan to stay out, but they decided to act. They brought the war on themselves.

3. Syria similarly shelled Israeli towns in the Jordan Valley from the Golan Heights for days before Israel responded militarily.

Anyone trying to sell you some fiction that 1967 was Israeli belligerence is either a propagandist liar or one of their useful idiots.
