Query: Downright Dishonest

Wish I could put no stars for this one. The author provides a lot of "history" in this travel guide but what is provided is often downright dishonest. One particularly galling example is when Stedman describes how Israel used the "excuse" of Egypt's blocking the Straits of Tiran to Israeli vessels, to attack Arab countries, including Jordan, in 1967. Putting aside the question of whether Egypt's hostile action was an act of war, it is a well-established fact that Israel pleaded with Jordan to stay out of the fighting, and it was only when Jordan began shelling West Jerusalem that Israel responded on the Jordanian front. So Israel definitely did not attack Jordan--it was first attacked by Jordan.Well, this is one example of many where facts are just plain put aside to discredit and delegitimize Israel. Don't buy this poison!
