Now here's an excerpt from one of the chapters of one of my Bible studies about politics and wars in the middle east:
(Part #1)
1967 to 1973 :
In 1973 a war had broken out between Israel, Egypt and Syria. On the surface, Egypt had gone in and taken the Suez Canal while Syria invaded the Golan Heights. In the end Israel defeated both Egypt and Syria with the help of the U.S. That's the simple narrative. The more we scratch beneath the surface though, we find nothing is that simple.
So here we go, follow me down this rabbit hole (beware - it gets deep):
To understand this, first we have to understand a little bit of history of what went on 6 years prior in 1967, and to understand that, we actually have to go back to the 1950's. Now if we do some digging here, we will find through declassified information recently made public on the web; (some of which was released by order of President Donald Trump) that we will smack up against the "deep state" and the behind-the-scenes workings of the beast(s) system. All these events are verifiable with just a little bit of Internet research.
There is currently a phenomenon going around the web called "Q" (and the anons) whereas allegedly someone(s) high up in the Trump administration are posting / explaining and connecting certain events and declassified information to explain to the patriot / nationalists movements in the U.S. and abroad, what's in the works to try and take down the "deep state". The information posted is interesting and a good deal of it points out and attempts to explain the connections between real events, declassified aspects of certain programs and entities like the mainstream media, the pharmaceutical industry and the gun control lobby. For anyone who's familiar with this phenomenon, (or has researched "conspiracy theories") what you're about to read is not going to sound bizarre at all. More on "Q" at the end of this chapter.
So let's jump into this: France-1954
Back at the end of WWII, all European powers, with the exception of France relinquished their colonial empires. Great Britain was bankrupt, Germany was destroyed, the Soviet Union was on life support, the United States and Canada where basically the only two nations in the world who still had an infrastructure and functional economies; and the U.S. was the only nation with a nuclear bomb. The end of the war saw the scramble between the U.S. and the Soviets to scoop up as much German technology and as many scientists as possible. The U.S. got the better share of both, but the Soviet Union was still the next nation to obtain a nuclear bomb; (1949 - albite with help of people in FDR's administration actually). After the Soviets, Great Britain was the next nation to develop the bomb in 1952.
1954 was a very bad year for France. Their control of South East Asia collapsed. They pulled out of Vietnam in 1954 and the war for Algerian independence started that same year. France still had quite a few nations in East Africa and areas of Israel.
Gamal Abdul Nasser was elected president of Egypt in 1956 although in 1952 he'd headed a successful coup that ousted the British backed Egyptian royal family. 1955 drew up an agreement between Egypt, Britain, and the U.S. accompanied by a loan from the World Bank to build a dam over the Nile river at Aswan. Negotiations were put on hold at first to try and iron out a problem Egypt had with Sudan over sharing water and whether or not Sudan would elect to join Egypt? (Sudan was still a quasi British colony.) This was allegedly further complicated by a deal Nasser entered into with Czechoslovakia for weapons (manufactured by the Soviet Union), in juxtaposed to France arming Israel. (Nasser had also recognized communist China.) In the end though Nasser had agreed to all the bank's conditions and was ready to go forth with the U.S. / British deal, although the Soviet's too had put a construction deal of their own on the table.
All this strained the deal with the U.S. in the mind of then Secretary of State John Foster Dulles; but from the vanish-point of President Eisenhower and the World Bank, was not sufficient reason to halt negotiations. No one knows for sure why the U.S. secretary of state suddenly lost his patience with Nasser and withdrew the offer, but in 1956 the U.S. and Britain were suddenly out of the deal. Egypt took control of the Suez canal and told the world, we will charge fees to use this canal so we can build our dam. (The dam eventually was completed with help of the Soviets by 1971.)
Well this "invading the canal" "enraged" Israel, France and Britain, who'd already schemed up a plan to start a war. After this, Israel made a few failed attempts to cause problems for Egypt's administration of the canal; but all the other nations that used it, found no real reason to object to Egypt's managerial skills. Still the military forces of Britain and France were steaming toward Egypt, while Israel launched an attack on Sini.
At that point, Eisenhower blew his stack, threatened Britain and France with withdrawing their loans for rebuilding Europe and than took the issue to the U.N. by emergency resolution. Britain vetoed the resolution, but was countered by Yugoslavia's motion to send the issue to General Assembly. France objected to the U.S. resolution, but was countered by a Soviet resolution, which the French accepted; (never acknowledging that this was the very same resolution the U.S. had offered, just the Soviet's had edited out Eisenhower's anger at Britain and France).
The U.S. attempted to sooth over their allies hurt feelings, along with their slow and begrudging withdrawal; when the Soviets "saved the day" by threatening Britain, France and Israel with a nuclear attack, saying they were going to blow Israel off the face of the earth because it "wasn't really a country anyways".
All the nations involved knew the man who'd made the threat (Nikolai Bulganin) wasn't serious; as they'd previously collected intel that Russia didn't even have long range ICBM's and Bulganin had been working closely with the U.S. over nuclear weapons test ban treaties and putting limits on nuclear stock piles. He'd made the announcement public though, before the parties involved ever received their "written notices"; which had put a real scare on the civilian population, effectively putting and end to any want of public support for a war on the parts of the British or French people.
After things settled down, Israel continued to object to Egypt's control of the Suez and Egypt's response was: "Take it before the international court." Israel never filed any legal action against Egypt over the nationalization of the canal. They had filed a complaint in 1950 over Egyptian restrictions of ships passing through the canal headed to Israel, which was a result of shifts in control of the canal that were a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
1948:
When the U.N. passed the resolution to form Israel, it was also to include a Palestinian state. But since the U.N. actually does not possess the authority to create nations, this resolution was simply a recommendation, not a law enacted. The stipulation did say though that if an Israeli state was to be created, than a Palestinian state was also to be mandated in that agreement. Yet that aspect of the resolution has never been honored by Israel. This started a war in 1948, when the Arab states stepped in to back the Palestinians. Egypt had instituted restrictions of ships entering the canal headed to Israel on suspicion of weapons smuggling.
When Israel complained to the U.N. in 1950 over Egypt's interference with Israel's use of the canal, the U.N. declared that because the original treaty for the Suez had now expired, this was not their jurisdiction (nor Britain's jurisdiction). (Although Egypt had gained independence from Britain in 1922 and the Suez was technically in Egypt, it was still being operated as an international body of water by a private French company.) Egypt's independence effectively ended 1888's stipulations drawn up in the Convention of Constantinople; which left control of the canal open to "whomever" after the British left. So after 1956, since the Suez Canal was technically in Egypt, it seemed logical for the U.N. to rule that it belongs to the Egyptians; (besides the fact that it was constructed using Egyptian labor and cement).
How Israel got Nukes:
So now Israel was mad at France for "losing" the 1956 war; (and France was mad at everyone else). So France, who had the technology to build themselves a nuclear bomb, but hadn't yet, "went rogue" on the rest of the world and began selling this technology to other nations. They sold it to Israel, India, and Pakistan; who intern sold it to Iran and allegedly North Korea. Israel launched it's nuclear program in 1956 with the help of French scientists, but continued to obtain more and better technology primarily from spying on the U.S.
