ISRAELI BLITZKRIEG
Positions on the Middle East crisis are quite clear in Vietnam. In Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh issued a statement supporting the Arabs and condemning the U.S. and Britain.
In Saigon, on the other hand, Nguyen Cao Ky said June 8: "I'm for Israel. As we live far from Israel, we do not know what part America and England played in this but we see that Israel alone is fighting many other countries."
He maintained that the Arabs were backed by “international Communism" in a plot to involve the U.S. in another war. Ky praised the Israeli armed forces, saying he thought they "did a wonderful job."
In July 1965, the Saigon puppet won world notoriety when he said, "People ask me who my heroes are. I have only one -- Hitler." He admired Hitler, he said, because of the way the dictator "pulled his country together..." Ky added, "We need four or five Hitlers in Vietnan."
