Here's another nice web site with lots of resources concerning the 6-Day War: The Six-Day War. There's a lot of meat in there to explore.

Update: There's also an excellent resource here: Fact Sheet:Remembering the Six Day War

There's good commentary concerning UNSCR 242 at that site, for example Lord Caradon, chief drafter of 242:

"Much play has been made of the fact that we didn’t say “the” territories or “all the” territories. But that was deliberate. I myself knew very well the 1967 boundaries and if we had put in the “the” or “all the” that could only have meant that we wished to see the 1967 boundaries perpetuated in the form of a permanent frontier. This I was certainly not prepared to recommend."

Likewise, reminiscing, a decade later:

"We didn't say there should be a withdrawal to the '67 line; we did not put the “the” in, we did not say “all the territories” deliberately. We all knew that the boundaries of '67 were not drawn as permanent frontiers, they were a cease-fire line of a couple of decades earlier... . We did not say that the '67 boundaries must be forever."

Yet the Jimmy Carters of the world, along with sundry NGOs and similar groups, obscure and gloss over such information. All in support of a putative, superficially conceived "peace."
