all the wars (including the first of Independence in 1948) were started by Israel. In fact, I have been lectured to about how the valiant Arab armies only went into Israel in 1948 to protect all the peace-loving Palestinians who were in the process of being slaughtered by the insidious Jews. Damn. I must have read the wrong history books.

Shame on you for excusing Israel's land grabs and the mistreatment of the native Palestinians.

Someone trotted out that fake map yesterday.
Ironic that the link is The War you don't see, because the map maker wants you to ignore those Wars that changed the borders. The Wars were Israel was attacked first.

It certainly wasn't in 1947/1948. That's when the pre-Israel Zionists ethnically cleansed the native Palestinians to create Israel. Or are you a Palestinian Nakba denier? - or supporter?

It certainly wasn't in 1956 with the naked aggression against Egypt by Britain, France, and Israel.

Israel started the Six-Day War in 1967 in which they grabbed more territory from their neighbors.

Egypt attacked Israelis illegally on Egyptian territory in the 1973 Yom Kippur War in an attempt to get back territory Israel stole in 1967.

Israel started the 1982 Lebanon War in which they devastated Lebanon.

And it goes on and on.
