The International Media and the Six-Day War
(Fathom-BICOM) Meron Medzini - Driven by the threats against Israel and the fiery slogans emanating from the Arab world, increasing numbers of foreign correspondents began to arrive. The overall picture was of a state under siege whose citizens feared for the fate of their families and country in light of the treachery of the world. Others wrote about how no human being in his right mind could fail to support the Israelis; that 22 years after the Holocaust, the [great] powers were once again impotent. What the military censor did not allow to be shared were the preparations for mass temporary graves for tens of thousands of victims in Tel Aviv parks. Professor Meron Medzini served as the Director of Israel's Government Press Office (GPO) in Jerusalem during the Six-Day War.
