Israeli Army Retweeting 1967 War As It Happened 317
An anonymous reader writes "This is a new one, twitter as a form of historical reenactment: 'Israel's army is giving a "live" blow-by-blow account of the 1967 Six Day War, tweeting each air strike at the exact time it occurred 46 years ago ... @IDF1967 "is an official Israel Defence Forces account that is aimed at re-tweeting the events of the Six Day War in live time", ... The account was tweeting key events in the battle against the armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria that took place from June 5 to 10, 1967 and includes pictures and videos, the army said. The tweets are mostly in Hebrew, with some translated into English. "In response to repeated provocations by Egypt, the State of Israel and the IDF are going to war. We will not sit idly as the enemy forces tighten the noose around our necks," the opening tweet said around 8.00am (1500 AEST) on Wednesday when Israel landed its first preemptive air strike 46 years ago.'"

1. We Rule! Israel Invented the Intel Core i7, the cell phone, and the cherry tomato! Half of all Nobel laureates are Jewish! We Made the Desert Bloom!
2. They Suck! They blow up buses and pizzerias, launch rockets at us, and didn't pop out of a Jewish vagina!
3. You Suck! You aren't giving Texas back to Mexico so we aren't giving back the West Bank and won't stop cleansing Jerusalem.
4, Everything Sucks! The Holocaust, Cambodia, Darfur, Iraq, etc... what's a little ethnic cleansing when G-d promised the land to us?
