your argument would have been more poignant if the dates had been backed by some form of foot note
everone loves a good footnote
the real benefit of this forum is the educational value of the well constructed arguments

1948*- "Civil" War erupts after state of Israel is founded. Israel goes ape shit on Palestinians killing several thousand, making numerous territorial gains, as well as displacing tens of thousands Palestinian refugee's
1956- Arab Leauge of Nations moves against Israel, Israel cleans house
1967- Israel pre-emptively moves against Syria, Jordan, and Egypt after Suez Canal is closed and Egypt begins amassing its army to the south of Israel's borders
1973- Sadat attempting to force Israel to sign cease-fire/peace accord attacks Israel on its holy day (yom kippur), Israel struggles first 3 days, then they again make huge gains and mop the floor with the arabs.
1982- Israel moves into Lebanon to deal with PLO/Hezbollah terrorist activity. (ALso I think Syria was somehow involved in this conflict).
There are your foot notes
