- Discover the military genius
that led to stunningly rapid victory in the Six Day War (1967),
in which the Israeli Air Force bombed entire Arab airfields while
their pilots still sat drinking their morning coffee, a triumph
which led to the joyous reunification of the Holy City of Jerusalem
and the destruction of her dividing walls. Hear the incredible
legends that survived the Yom Kippur War (1973), in which solitary
Israeli tanks held off entire Arab divisions. Witness the miracles
shown Israel during the Gulf War (1991), the first war that Israelis
had the leisure to "sit back and watch" from behind
their gas masks as U.S. defense systems exploded incoming Iraqi
missiles like fireworks in the sky.
Through footage of key terrorist attacks and discussions of their
aftermath, learn more about the utter destruction of the Palestinian
Intifadas (1987-1993, 2000), a war in which Israel still finds
herself entangled. The Sinai Campaign of 1956, the War of Attrition
from 1967-1970, and the invasion of Lebanon in 1982 are also
included, providing an extensive overview of this war-torn nation's
heroic past... and present. Private interviews, speeches, addresses,
and commentary from Golda Meir, Shimon Peres, Yitzchak Rabin,
and Yassir Arafat himself make "Wars of Israel" the
most thorough, enlightening, and intriguing film available on
this subject.
