By the way, as I have pointed out many times before, the "Arabs" did not opt for war. The Arabs in every case except for 1972 were in the defensive posture, and in 1972 they were taking back land that had been taken from them illegally by conquest.

Every single military action that the government of Israel has engaged in, with the exception of 1972, was for the purpose of taking land from its neighbors, and the settlements are for the purpose of taking land. When people resort to using the defense (as people invariably do when all of their other arguments are shot down), that Israel took the land by conquest so that makes it ok, they are essentially admitting that it's for the purpose of taking land that Israel fights with its neighbors, and they are attempting to justify this practice.
