The Innumerable What-Ifs of the Six Day War

What might be the state of affairs today in the West Bank and Gaza and East Jerusalem had the United Nations warned Nasser that continuance of his blockade of the Straits of Tiran was an international crime to be met with force? Shmuel Rosner says any revisionist study of the Six Day War, its origins and aftermath, is incomplete without accounting for the many foul-ups of non-Israeli actors:

What would have happened if the world had acted more decisively to prevent Nasser from violating his commitments? What would he have done if the United Nations had made it clear that such acts and statements would be met with a show of resilience and even force? In short: What would have happened if the world had been more attentive to Sen. Morse's wisdom and advice? Could the miseries of both the war and the occupation have been avoided?
