In May 1967, Charismatic Egyptian President Abdul Gamel Nasser cried out for Pan Arab Unity with a threat to push Israel "into the sea." The armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan mobilized their troops to surround Israel and kicked out the UN observers.

Israel, seeing that she was outnumbered by armies of three nations, decided that a surprise attack was the best way to deal with an impending war. Thus by surprising Egypt, Jordan and Syria, Israel averted her possible annihilation and defeated the Arabs in six days.
