Why did Israel launch a pre-emptive strike in 1967 but not in 1973?

Why did Israel launch a pre-emptive strike in 1967 but not in 1973? [30] Reasons why Israel launched a pre-emptive strike in 1967 might include that Israel had plenty of warning regarding an impending Arab attack. New governments in Iraq and Syria were influenced by the Ba’ath Party and were prepared to co-operate with Egypt against Israel. Syria began bombing Jewish settlements from the Golan Heights. Egyptian leader Nasser believed that, with support from Syria and Iraq, the time was right for an attack on Israel. Caught between allied hostile states to the north and south as well as fighting guerrillas operating from Jordan, Israel had already adopted a hard-line approach, e.g. in November 1966, Israel launched a ground offensive into Jordan; in April 1967, Israel shot down Syrian jets over Damascus. Nasser forced the UN to remove its peace-keeping force, moved troops up to the frontier in Sinai and closed the Gulf of Aqaba. In view of Arab troop movements, Israel saw the closure of the straits as a cause of wars (as in 1956). Israeli negotiations with the USA showed that America would not intervene. On 4 June 1967, a National Unity government was formed in Israel and the new defense minister (Moshe Dayan) tipped the balance in favor of a pre-emptive strike. Israel’s success in the Six-Day War was due to the slow and ponderous build-up of Arab forces, Israeli air superiority and inadequate Arab preparations. Reasons why Israel did not launch a pre-emptive strike in 1973 might include the fact that Israel was in a much stronger position as a result of the Six-Day War. Arab unity had been discredited and Israel now had much more land. The response of Arab states to defeat in 1967 was disunited. Sadat (Egypt) sought negotiations with Israel. Syria sought military build-up and a future war with Israel. Jordan and Lebanon, internally weak, simply withdrew from the conflict with Israel. Meanwhile, PLO terrorism continued. Sadat was concerned that PLO terrorism would 10 © UCLES 2012 9389/04/SM/15 discredit the Arab cause in world opinion and was convinced of the need for a negotiated settlement with Israel. He wanted the USA to encourage Israel to negotiate, but the USA refused. Sadat decided, with Syria, to attack Israel again in order to force the USA to act as mediators. Egypt felt stronger because of Russian weapons and training by Russian military advisers. The Arab attack came on 6 October 1973 and is one of Israeli intelligence’s greatest failures. Israel had underestimated Arab frustration over its occupation of the Golan Heights, Sinai, West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Israel had perceived the Arabs as weak and not ready for another war. Political and military leaders had become complacent, convinced of their own invincibility. Egyptian and Syrian forces attacked on the feast of Yom Kippur, hoping to catch the Israelis off guard. After early successes, the Arabs were forced back by Israeli troops equipped with American-supplied weaponry. Although Israel managed to retain the 1967 frontiers, she had come close to defeat and was more willing to negotiate.

while in Israel the whole nation serves as the electoral district, from which all 120 members of the Knesset are elected.

The Jewish people war of survival was not won when Hitler lost. It continues to this day, against enemies with far more effective tools of mass murder at their disposal. Plus we are easy to find now.
The West Bank (Judea and Samaria) was re-taken and liberated from Jordan by Israel in 1967 after another failed Arab attempt at destroying the young Jewish state and has been under Israel control ever since. In the Oslo accords (which are now null and void), Israel tried to give the PA limited supervision on a part of the area but it obviously did not work as the Arab goal here is not the creation of a Arab-Palestinian state but simply the destruction of the Jewish state. If they wanted a Arab-Palestinian state, they would have asked Jordan before 1967 for the territories. They never bothered (because they knew it was occupied Jewish territory) until Israel took over.
Israel must stop all Arab violence at all costs and restore security and safety to its citizens.

The Jewish people war of survival was not won when Hitler lost. It continues to this day, against enemies with far more effective tools of mass murder at their disposal. Plus we are easy to find now.

In compliance with the 1920 League of Nations Resolution, two-state solution was implemented in 1922 when British administration of occupied Israel in violation of International Treaties, (for 50 barrels of oil) allocated more than 77% of Israel territory to Arab-Palestinian Arabs and created Transjordan (now Jordan in) where today over 90 percent of the population identify themselves as Arab-Palestinian. Every party, including UN, EU, US, etc., must respect The 1920 San Remo Treaty, the League of Nations Resolutions, adopted and accepted by UN in 1945. Therefore, all so called “Arab-Palestinians” must be relocated there in Jordan. Enough stealing Israel land. Britain and Jordan must compensate Israel for stolen land and natural resources. That includes the assets and land of the million Jews and their children, (that lived in the Arab countries for over 2,000 years), who were expelled from Arab countries of which the majority settled in Greater Israel. (120,444 sq. km. of Jewish Real property was confiscated, which is 5-6 times the size of Israel and valued in the trillions of dollars).

The League of Nation was contemplating on filing charges against Britain for violating the Mandate for Palestine, especially for restricting Jewish immigration prior and during WW2 1939-1947.
History of “Arab-Palestinians”
Article 24 of the 1964 PLO Charter addressed to UN stipulates: “Arab-Palestinian Muslims do not exercise authority over West Bank (Judea and Samaria) and Gaza territories”
Arab leaders like Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi told the Peel Commission in 1937: “There is no such country as ‘Palestine’; ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented!”
In 1946, Arab historian Philip Hitti testified before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry that “there is no such thing as Palestine in history.”
In 1977, an executive committee member of the PLO Zahir Muhsein confirmed that there is no such thing as a separate “Arab-Palestinian” people of Arab descent. In an interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw in March 31, 1977, he stated the following: “The Arab-Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Arab-Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity.”
In 1948, Bernadotte, mediator between Jews and Arabs appointed by the UN General Assembly, noted in his journal that the “Arab-Palestinian” Arabs had little desire for independence:
“The Arab-Palestinian Arabs had at present no will of their own. Neither have they ever developed any specifically Arab-Palestinian nationalism. The demand for a separate Arab state in Palestine is consequently relatively weak. It would seem as though in existing circumstances most of the Arab-Palestinian Arabs would be quite content to be incorporated in Transjordan.”
In 1947, Arab leaders protesting the UN partition plan argued that Palestine was part of Syria and “politically, the Arabs of Palestine (were) not (an) independent separate … political entity.”
Western media must stop broadcasting and publishing fraudulent, fake, false, and distorted information on Israel and Jews. Current situation, specifically in Europe, is quite similar to 1930s, however, we, Jews, learned our lessons and will not hesitate to give appropriate response to any mortal attacks on us.
