This article was brought to my attention via email by Jay Tuch, the American-Israeli Patriot, who is now one of the folks who does posts at Jihad Watch/Dhimmi Watch. See his first post, and his introduction by Robert Spencer, renowned expert on Islam and Jihad, here!
I've been doing open-source research on the connection between Communism (particulary the Soviet/Russian variety, though not limited thereto) and Islamic (and all -yes, all- international, plus even domestic(!)) terrorism.
This is just the latest bit of evidence I have to support my contention that Islam isn't acting alone, but is rather actually funded and facilitated by Communist regimes.
Here's some excerpts from the article:
In a new book that "totally contradicts everything that has been accepted to this day" about the Six Day War, two Israeli authors claim that the conflict was deliberately engineered by the Soviet Union to create the conditions in which Israel's nuclear program could be destroyed.
Having received information about Israel's progress towards nuclear arms, the Soviets aimed to draw Israel into a confrontation in which their counterstrike would include a joint Egyptian-Soviet bombing of the reactor at Dimona. They had also geared up for a naval landing on Israel's beaches.
"The conventional view is that the Soviet Union triggered the conflict via disinformation on Israeli troop movements, but that it didn't intend for a full-scale war to break out and that it then did its best to defuse the war in cooperation with the United States," Gideon Remez, who co-wrote Foxbats over Dimona, told The Jerusalem Post Tuesday. Essentially, the Soviet Union at the time was regarded as having evolved "a cautious and responsible foreign policy," the book elaborates. "But we propose a completely new outlook on all this," said Remez.
Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the war, Foxbats over Dimona: The Soviets' Nuclear Gamble in the Six-Day War, by Remez and Isabella Ginor, is to be published by Yale University Press early next month. The title refers to the Soviets' most advanced fighter plane, the MiG-25 Foxbat, which the authors say flew sorties over Dimona shortly before the Six Day War, both to help bolster the Soviet effort to encourage Israel to launch a war, and to ensure the nuclear target could be effectively destroyed once Israel, branded an aggressor for its preemption, came under joint Arab-Soviet counterattack.

A little observation: I note that the MiG-25 was dubbed the "Foxbat" by NATO. Today, I'd suggest renaming it the "Moonbat", as such a moniker is a perfect update. In fact, at the Russian GRU (military intelligence) headquarters, there's a huge symbol of a bat in front of a sphere painted on the floor of the lobby. "Moonbat" is therefore perfect... for both leftists and the totalitarian Russian regime.
