Israeli Army Retweeting 1967 War As It Happened
An anonymous reader writes "This is a new one, twitter as a form of historical reenactment: 'Israel's army is giving a "live" blow-by-blow account of the 1967 Six Day War, tweeting each air strike at the exact time it occurred 46 years ago ... @IDF1967 "is an official Israel Defence Forces account that is aimed at re-tweeting the events of the Six Day War in live time", ... The account was tweeting key events in the battle against the armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria that took place from June 5 to 10, 1967 and includes pictures and videos, the army said. The tweets are mostly in Hebrew, with some translated into English. "In response to repeated provocations by Egypt, the State of Israel and the IDF are going to war. We will not sit idly as the enemy forces tighten the noose around our necks," the opening tweet said around 8.00am (1500 AEST) on Wednesday when Israel landed its first preemptive air strike 46 years ago.'"
All the Israelis did was engage in conventional war, not a plan of extermination. But you are interested in countering the Israelis making twitter posts in remembrance of their defeating Arab armies gathering to commit genocide by reenacting an actual genocide. No doubt you consider yourself a humanitarian and a sensitive soul. A pity the Jews have to go and ruin everything by not submitting willingly to extermination, eh?

As far as I can tell the Muslims treat everyone like shit. They have a special place in their hearts for the Jews but they don't mind killing Christians and Hindus and anyone else that doesn't agree with them. This includes each other too when there are no outsiders to concentrate on. Radicals do the killing and the so called moderates provide the money and make excuses for them. I'm enjoying watching Europe try to deal with them.
