You should note that the suicide bombing campaign started more than 20 years after the Golan heights were seized, in a war where Israel was clearly the first to shoot (that's why it turned out so well for Israel-the surprise attack wiped out any opposition on day one of the battle.)
First to shoot because THEY HAD A GUN POINTED AT THEIR HEAD in the form of aircraft ready to launch and tank units on the move!
If they weren't about to be attacked, and obviously so, there would have been no war! As it is, they not only beat back the multiple nations who had ganged up on them, they won more territory from the aggressors. And, as an added trivia bit, some Israeli units were still armed with antique Mauser 98Ks. They still won.
Where DO you get your revisionist history? Hamas' media arm?
They're still trying to hide the fact that superior tactics routed a much more powerful multination force, especially in the maneuvers against the Egyptian armor. Because it's an embarrassment. Just like the 1973 Yom Kippur war, when the Arab nations tried again and lost was an embarassement. Like how Syria recently boasted that nothing could get through their state-of-the-art Russian air defense system, then Israel got through undetected and broke their soon-to-be weapons production reactor. It was an embarrassment.
The suicide bombing started out of sheer rage because every time these militarily superior, larger Arab nations tried to gang up on Israel and smash it, they ended up getting their teeth broken and ass handed to them, and lost more land, too. So they went to asymmetrical warfare against civilian populations, as terrorists, the equivalent of a brat going and punching someone's defenseless younger sibling because the sibling their own size keeps repelling their attacks.
Now they supply rockets to people who launch them deliberately into civilian centers. Because that little bit of incoherently flailing rage is all they have left. Every time they try to build a nuke, it gets taken away from them.
That's the facts.
Sorry friend, but you are in need of some serious remedial history on this war.
First off, Israel's surprise attack wiped out the only real air force that Israel faced-leaving Israel with the ability to bomb enemy forces at will throughout the campaign. The advantage of total air superiority is impossible to underestimate, although the IDF has managed to prove that it can be made irrelevant in the most recent war in Lebanon.
Your picture of the war is wrong for two reasons:
1. It basically takes the Arab propaganda as gospel with respect to their militaries, which were poorly armed, poorly led, and poorly organized in 1967. The "advantage" did not exist in any respect, although they were at that stage comparable to the Israeli forces (as opposed to now, with the Arabs being way behind)...had the Arabs attacked first, the war almost certainly would not have been so lopsided. (See 1973, when Israel very nearly was destroyed.)
and
2. It ignores the proclamations of the Israeli military leadership, including Begin, that made clear that the 1967 war was a policy driven war. It was not a strike to avert imminent disaster-it was a decided campaign to subdue in advance any opposition to Israeli dominance in the region.
This claim:
The suicide bombing started out of sheer rage because every time these militarily superior, larger Arab nations tried to gang up on Israel and smash it,
Is completely unsupported by the facts. The suicide bombing campaign kicked off with quite public proclamations as to its supposed "justification"-it was a response to the massacre in Hebron by Baruch Goldstein at friday prayers. It followed the Hebron massacre by a matter of months, and all of the suicide attacks referenced the Hebron incident.
In a nutshell, it would be hard to have an analysis more obviously wrong than the ones you have posted on the 1967 war and the suicide bombing campaign (which didn't start until 1994), at least if the historical documents available are to be considered with any weight.
The only times that the Arab nations ever even held a candle to Israel in terms of military parity were in 67 and 73. There has never been a war agaisnt Israel where the Israelis were outgunned or outnumbered-not once....although the IDF certainly has managed to bungle wars even with its enormous advantage.
