The wake of conquest

Taken from the New Statesman 16 June 1967
The twisted legacy of Israel's victory over hostile neighbouring Arab states in the Six Day War 40 years ago this month continues to block any Middle East road to peace. This vivid report, published in the New Statesman in the immediate aftermath, shows the heated opinions and prejudices of that time among triumphant Israelis. Such emotions still resonate strongly, especially in occupied Palestine's West Bank, where an estimated 400,000 Jews have been illegally settled since June 1967.
