[edit] Western response?

I was wondering what how the West responded to the "controversial" withdrawal of the UNEF? Michael Oren's Six Days of War mentions two "Western" critics - Joseph Alsop of Newsweek and New York Times editor C.L. Sulzberger - but seems to leave out all other Western countries besides the U.S...

[edit] Claim of Israeli rejection of UNEF on their side of the armistice line

Michael Oren doesn't mention this at all in his comprehensive history of the period, Six Days of War. If nobody can back this up within one week, I will deleting it from the article. --GHcool 01:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Michael Oren's Six Days of War has its critics, and there are valid primary sources beyond his book which mention Israel's rejection of the UNEF on its side of the armistice line...see Abba Eban with Footnotes by Norman G. Finkelstein (Journal of Palestine Studies, Spring 2003, Vol. 32, No. 3, Pages 74-89) for a comprehensive review of Michael Oren's book. Zadooplum 23:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] removed reference tag

I removed the reference/citing sources tag, as it seems all "dubious" claims have been cited...Zadooplum 04:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
