So what happened?

The Egyptians didn't want to go to war with Israel.

And what happened was Nasser, the leader of Egypt, was actually fighting a war in Yemen.

He gets on a call with LBJ and he says, the Israelis are not going to attack us, are they?

Once again, he lies and says, no, they're not.

And then they do a blitzkrieg and attack them.

So that was Israel again.

Even if it was, which I can see slightly where you're coming from, especially when you look at 67.

But then when you look at, for example, what happened to JFK, and then you look at the fact that after that, you basically had a scenario where when the Soviet Union weakened, remember, Israel also was working on both sides.

They were given US military secrets to the Soviet Union.

They were given Soviet Union's secrets to the United States of America.

So even in that situation, they weren't an ally.

They were actually an impediment.

They were going to just go with whichever side did well.

But in terms of the Suez Canal, in terms of what you're talking about, I guess that is a good, decent point.

But it became less of an issue over time, which you see when Egypt fully just basically became part of the American imagination.

No, no, because the problem is that what you've got is, you're right, like Israel has always been, United States of America has always been kind of linked and or subservient to Israel.

Subservient?

Always?

That's what I said, and or.
