@JewishNewsUK Under estimate- most of it is not reported

@AVV8888 @GanzeGeschichte Absolutely & 35K Boer civilians died in British concentration/internment camps of disease and malnutrition

[Historic Record @HistoricRecord]

@moltke44 @GanzeGeschichte It was a massive commitment- UK sent nearly 1/2m men to fight 88k Boers- 347k from UK & the rest from the Empire-Australia New Zealand etc

[Historic Record @HistoricRecord]

@panthemanii @GanzeGeschichte It was indeed- Cecil Rhodes and the gold discovered in the Transvaal and the rush of gold prospectors- its was driven by Imperial arrogance and greed

[Historic Record @HistoricRecord]

@Michaelmar68681 @GanzeGeschichte The Boer war was British Imperialism -desire to control all the wealth of southern africa especially the gold mines discovered in the Transvaal

[Historic Record @HistoricRecord]

@NYard1981 @GanzeGeschichte Close to 450k Imperial troops including 350K from the UK fought in the 2nd Boer war against 88k Boers- they were predominantly white

[Die ganze Geschichte @GanzeGeschichte]

Hunderte tote Briten liegen in Afrika im Graben, nachdem sie am 24. Januar 1900 von den Buren in der Schlacht von Spioenkop besiegt wurden. Ein wirklich bizarrer Krieg: Zwei europäische Nationen (eine davon hat fast jeden Kontakt zu Europa verloren) führen einen blutigen Krieg mitten in Afrika - die Schwarzafrikaner sind hier vor allem Zuschauer.

@GanzeGeschichte Those are the bodies of 243 British soldiers who were killed- This war was caused by British Imperialism- their desire to control the wealth especially the gold of the Transvaal in Boer regions. By the end of the war UK killed 35k Boers most of them civilians in internment camps

@JewishChron it was domestic violence- not newsworthy

@unionjackspirit One cannot see your physique so I can't comment how you would tackle an athletic youth- it could be that those only physical fit part of your anatomy are your nimble fingers for typing

@Anna_Soubry @DavidLammy Anna- do you not realise that inside UK prisons there is no airconditioning- no ventilation- prisoners are overcrowded & left in inhumane conditions & you are only concerned about one "barrister"! I don't think human rights was ever your strong point

[Historic Record @HistoricRecord]

@LewisJonathanE Obviously- Jews also have a choice not to invest in a country that embraces antisemitism on such a scale

[Don't Look Away @ExposingHamas]

“We will kill them. We will torch them. We will grind them to dust.”

On this day in history, after Arab leaders openly threatened to destroy Israel, Arab armies built up on its borders, Egypt blocked Israeli shipping through the Straits of Tiran, and UN peacekeepers left the buffer zone after Egypt demanded their withdrawal, Israel struck first.

The Six-Day War had begun.

In just 6 days, Israel defeated Egypt, Syria, and Jordan on multiple fronts, taking the Sinai, the Golan Heights, Gaza, and the West Bank, known historically as Judea and Samaria.

Years later, Egypt received the Sinai back in exchange for peace. A peace that still stands today. Jordan later renounced its claim to the West Bank and made peace with Israel as well.

The Golan Heights, taken from Syria after years of Syrian attacks from above, was eventually annexed and became an inseparable part of Israel.

Today, anti-Israel propagandists try to rewrite that war as Israeli aggression. But the truth is simple: Israel was surrounded, threatened, blockaded, and left with no choice.

Watch the clip. Learn what really happened.

June 5–10, 1967: The Six-Day War. Against overwhelming odds, Israel faced five Arab armies and emerged victorious in just six days. For many Jews around the world, the reunification of Jerusalem and the return to the Western Wall marked more than a military victory—it was a moment where ancient longing, history, identity, and hope converged in real time.

Nearly six decades later, the events of June 1967 continue to shape Jewish memory, peoplehood, and the enduring connection between the Jewish people and Jerusalem.

[Captain Allen @CptAllenHistory]

On This Day — June 4, 1967

Israel stood completely alone — betrayed by its allies and facing annihilation.

France — Israel’s main arms supplier — imposed a total weapons embargo on Israel at the direct order of President Charles de Gaulle.

Already, every major Western power, including the United States, had Israel under a weapons embargo.

The Israeli Cabinet met in emergency session as massive Arab armies gathered on its borders. Egypt alone had nearly 100,000 troops and 1,000 tanks in Sinai, with Jordan, Syria, and Iraq adding more forces. Arab leaders were openly calling for Israel’s destruction.

A cable from U.S. President Lyndon Johnson made the situation brutally clear:

“Israel will not be alone unless it decides to go it alone.”

Israel got the message.

With no strategic depth, vastly outnumbered, and abandoned by its supposed friends, the Cabinet voted 12–2 to launch a preemptive strike on the largest Arab military, Egypt (which had already committed an act of war by closing the Straits of Tiran). The war would begin the next morning.

The mood across Israel was somber and resolute. Parks were dug up for mass graves. Schools became bomb shelters. Teenagers filled sandbags. The entire nation understood it faced an existential threat — a potential second Holocaust.

Yet on June 5, Israel acted.

This was the moment a small, isolated nation chose survival over waiting for the mercy of others.

Never forget how alone Israel truly was on the eve of the Six Day War.

@davidansonbrown Not "rescue " Jerusalem but liberate it

[Military History Now @MilHistNow]

Today in 1967, Israeli planes carry out a surprise raid on the Egyptian air force destroying more than 300 aircraft on the ground. The pre-emptive strike, launched to disrupt a planned invasion of the Jewish state by a coalition of Arab powers, marks the start of the Six Day War

[🔯 Monotheistic Zionist 🔯 @Zionist_faithfu]

59 years have passed since Israel’s decisive victory in the Six-Day War.

59 years ago today, the Six-Day War began between Israel and three Arab states, supported by all other Arab states. The war ended with Israel’s decisive victory over all of these armies, and Israel took control of some of their territories and the areas of Judea and Samaria.
After observing Egyptian military movements in the Sinai Peninsula on June 5, the Israeli Air Force launched a preemptive strike, destroying most of the Egyptian and Syrian air forces. The Israeli army then invaded the Sinai Peninsula and pushed Egyptian forces back to the Suez Canal. On the Judea and Samaria front, they defeated the Jordanian army, took control of the West Bank, and liberated East Jerusalem.

On the Syrian front, Israeli forces advanced and consolidated control of the Golan Heights, which the Syrians had been using to bomb Israeli villages and towns.

The Israeli army achieved these achievements in just six days, which are among the greatest military victories in history.
