Ep 102 - When David Became Goliath: How the Six-Day War Flipped the Script
I’m listening to Ronen Bergman’s “Rise and Kill First,” and there’s a line that stops me cold.
A Mossad operative, born in Canada, raised in the US, talking about Israel before the Six-Day War, says this: “Before the Six-Day War, Israel aroused in me the sympathy of an underdog.”
Before. Not after. Before.
That one word explains everything about how the world sees Israel today. Because in 1967, something changed. And it wasn’t just the map.
