Today in Labor History June 5, 1967: Israel attacked Egypt and Syria, during the Six-Day War, resulting in its illegal occupation of the Sinai Peninsula, West Bank, Gaza Strip & Golan Heights, and the displacement of 400,000 Palestinians. During the war, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Kuwait all supported the Arab coalition. Over 700 Israeli soldiers died in the war. 10,000-16,000 died on the Arab side. Additionally, 15 UN peacekeepers died, as well as 34 U.S. marines, navy and National Security Agents, who died when Israel torpedoed the USS Liberty, a U.S. spy ship that was in international waters. Israel claimed it was an accident and the U.S. government officially accepted this explanation. However, many believed it was a deliberate attack, including Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, and many of the survivors of the attack.
