In the summer of 1967, millions across the Arab world tuned into the radio and heard what sounded like victory. Egypt’s Voice of the Arabs announced sweeping military successes over Israel, claimed the liberation of Palestine was underway, and reported that American and British forces were being defeated. None of it was true. The Egyptian air force had already been destroyed. Arab armies were in retreat. Palestine was not being liberated. People across the Middle East woke up to the realization that they had been fed a lie.
