When Egyptian president Nasser closes an important sea route for their neighbouring state of Israel in May 1967, Israel argues that a military attack on Egypt is justified. During the following six days in June 1967, Israel embarks on a war against Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The Sabaton song 'Counterstrike' describes this short but influential and controversial conflict.

This might be the most controversial topic we have tackled to this date. We are aware of the many controversies and debate surrounding the Six-Day War, including debates surrounding the justification of the Israeli 'preemptive strike', the role that foreign/western nations played in the conflict and warcrimes that might have been committed by both sides. We decided to stay away from these debates in this video, and stick to the historical narrative. While we highly value (academic) debate and discussion, we don't allow for racism, xenophobia, anti-semitism and partisan revisionism. Also, please try to stay away from modern partisan politics as far as possible. Thanks for reading! Cheers!

To this date. This can compete with the Final Solution. But you guys are right. Stay away from politics and just got on history. And that's how I listen to the song. Also for those who want to know about the song that Joakim made with Desert. It's called Lament of Soldier's Glory. I find it amazing.

Just a question: how do you guys decide which perspective to take in a song? Cause you don't always take the 'good guy's side', what is totally ok I think. In discussing history it's important to understand the motivations of every sides. Just, this song could have been written from Egypt's perspective too for example.

I beleive these topics have to be discussed and they have to be discussed with an open mind and with understanding the motivations and reasons of both sides.

I think the only disagreement I have is that I don't think people should be afraid to talk about controversial topics. That's part of what makes youtube as a platform great. That people are willing to speak their minds about something, regardless of if they know it will possibly bring backlash. This isn't to say I mind how sabaton history handled this, I fully understand. But I just think the concept of censoring history for the sake of not "possibly" offending someone is exactly why we have a country where a vast majority of people lack even basic knowledge of the world wars, event's that shaped the world. It's a trend that is going to doom us to re-live some of the worst hours of the human species out of ignorance.

If Jordan would have taken part in 1973 war, things might have become badly for Israel. But Jordan stayed neutral as much as it could. King Hussein, God rest his soul, was a smart person sending only volunteers to serve under Egyptian command...

The results of the war and its relevance today are controversial, even in Israel.

To a lesser degree, the annexation of the Golan Heights is also somewhat controversial, but I don't think as many people care remotely as much.

It’s highly commendable that you don’t avoid supposedly “controversial” topics ( nothing really controversial for anyone who knows proper history but anyway) and you have the balls to talk about them, that’s how it should be anyway. After all you deal with the military and not the political aspect of the stories. Well done!

Yes, the situation in the Middle East is pretty messed up, but at the very least, I can give Israel credit for humiliating their three closest neighbors, despite being the underdog. Not just in terms of military might, but also in terms of gathering information. I mean, knowing when the Egyptians pilots have breakfast is pretty damn impressive, if you ask me.

Well Israel is "ironically" nazi germanys best student. They fiht nearly exectly like it, they use the "Lebensraum"(living space) ideology to justify their state, they try to repopulate conquered areas with their own ethnic settlements, etc. , they ignore itnernational law and human rights on a regular basis, etc. (just to make this clear the arab extremists arent in any way better) But its kind of sad for a "democratic", western oriented state with a people who have a history of being treated like shit to do the same things that happened to them (obvoiusly not that extrem) Also they are technically a religious extremist state and not a proper democracy. But well the clusterfuck of the middle east just gets harder to solve every day.

Counterstrike. That's indeed going to be very touchy. It's a story with multiple assets. In just of the military, it's a great story but with the effects to this day, aren't pretty. History really has effects on those things these days. The song is awesome. In just pure of it, the song is really thrilling and defeating three enemies in six days is something you don't see a lot. But in terms of what it caused to this day, I am not really a fan of it. And you guys mentioned Desert. Those guys are awesome. By you guys, I got to know those guys.
