Sorry CarolC! There have been so many wars that they run together in my mind. That should have been the one in 1973 where Egypt bears blame.

Yes, Egypt did start the war in 1973, for the purpose of taking back land that was taken from it by Israel in 1967.

In 67 Isreal struck first but under duress.

There was no danger to Israel from Egypt in 1967. Israel started this war for the purpose of taking land by conquest.
