In June 1967, tensions between Israel and its Arab neighbors once again led to the outbreak of war.  This episodes examines the causes of the renewed violence, ranging from long term factors such as Nasser's Arab nationalism and the lack of a solution to the Palestinian refugee crisis to shorter term issues such as the evolution of regional politics, fights over water usage and Israeli reprisal attacks.  Topics covered include not Nasser and Egypt, but also the rise of the Ba'ath Party and Hafez al-Assad in Syria, the origins of the PLO, Fatah and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and Israel's deadly Samu raid (1966).
