	This is a quote from another Jewish scholar; Noam Tractinsky, 
	who was the right back of the youth team of Hapoel Beer Sheva 
	and is currently working on several research projects at the
	University of Texas at Austin. In his book "The Known History
 	of the '67 War" [1992], pg 1, he writes:

 
        "On May 17, the Egyptions demanded that UN forces stationed 
	along the border be removed from their positions and be 
	transferred to Gaza and the Straits. U Thant asserted that 
	he can either leave all UN troops in their current positions 
	or they wil have to withdrow completely. Nasser's reply was 
	that all UN forces should withdrow from all their positions." 

	How about that Ayed?. I suspect you will attack Mr. Tractinsky
	and call him names like "self-hating Jew"...etc.
