Arthur Hertzberg, a vice president of the World Jewish Congress, believes something began to go wrong for Israel at the moment of its greatest triumph, the Six-Day War. He argues that while the 1967 victory was splendid for the Jewish ego, in Israel and in the Diaspora, the demonstration of such brilliant power, whatever advantages it brought, eventually led down a path of aggressiveness and grandiosity.
