Sexual Impotence and Six Day War
Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the 1967 Six Day War when Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and other Arab states tried in their second conventional attempt to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and lost horribly. Since then, the Arab world has blamed next to everything on this loss… military dictatorship, poor economic performance, terrorism, … sexual impotence? Really reaching here guys!
Forty years after Israel’s stunning victory over three Arab armies, the defeat still lingers in the Arab world — so much so, some blame it for everything from a lack of democracy in the region to the rise of religious extremism.
On June 5, 1967, Israeli warplanes destroyed 400 aircraft belonging to Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Iraq — most of them sitting on airport tarmacs. Egypt lost the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip, Syria gave up the Golan Heights, and Jordan relinquished the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
Trying to minimize the defeat, Arabs have long called the Six Day War the "naksa," or "setback," but its impact remains a deep wound.
Egyptian columnist Wael Abdel Fattah wrote in the independent weekly Al-Fagr newspaper that Arabs blame the defeat for "everything" — from "price hikes, dictatorship, religious extremism, sectarian strife, even sexual impotence."
