The Six-Day War, the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, the Third Arab-Israeli War, or the Naksa (setback). For some Israelis, it can be described as the brightest moment or the biggest mistake. The brightest moment, as the young state established military superiority and enlarged its borders. Yet the biggest mistake, as Israel turned into an occupying power lording it over one million Palestinians.

Whatever the name is, facts still remain. Palestine is now different 40 years later — people displaced, the economy deteriorated, and minimum humanitarian conditions maybe nonexistent.

The six-day war, Naksa, or even the "brightest moment" is one chapter in an ongoing war … "It's a six-day war plus 40 years. It never ended,"
says an Israeli expert, M.J. Rosenberg.
