In November of 1967, De Gaulle had some choice words about the Jews who had spurned his counsel - and a warning to the world:

Some people even feared that the Jews, an elite people, sure of themselves and domineering, would, once assembled again on the land of their ancient greatness, turn their Zionist pursuit into a burning and conquering ambition.
Since 1956, we have witnessed a warrior State of Israel that is determined to increase its boundaries. Israel has reached further objectives in only six days of fighting. Now Israel organizes itself on conquered territories, the occupation of which cannot go without oppression and expulsions”
