Bad newspaper headlines aside, it’s been a pretty good century for the Zionists
Moreover, the smashing victory of June 1967 had other positive
consequences for Israel’s global position. Though mostly invisible at
the time, they were in part significantly helpful, and in part not less
than utterly momentous. In the former category was the growth of
military-industrial trade with ambitious players who were properly
impressed by Israel’s war-winning talents. Among them, the Shah of Iran
had the deepest purse, the longest shopping list, and a particular
willingness to invest in co-development; that allowed Israel to produce
weapons that the United States would not supply. The Israeli alliance
with the Shah was always problematic and hardly central—Israel’s leaders
were not under pressure to learn Persian (though it was spoken with
classical over-perfection by Foreign Minister Abba Eban), yet it
absorbed much well-rewarded efforts, until it went poof! in 1979 with the shah’s overthrow by the ayatollahs.
