Israeli wars

Israel became a state in 1948 and immediately five Arab nations, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria declare war on Israel. The war ended in less than a year with Israel winning and expanding their borders. Next came 1956 when Egypt seized control of the Suez Canal and Israel went to war and in a few months took over the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip but were forced by the US to give back the areas. The next war came in 1967 and lasted six days and Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. This was followed up with the 1973 attack by Egypt and Syria, the 1982 Lebanon War, the 2006 Lebanon War and various other conflicts up to 2023. Through all of these years Israel was regularly hit with rockets, provided by Iran, by way of Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and Yemen with the constant cry of death to Israel. Then in Oct 2023 Hamas soldiers invaded Israel, killed 1,200 and took 250 prisoners. Israel negotiated 21 days to get a prisoner release to no avail and then sent in the army. This resulted in the deaths of 75,000, mostly civilian, because Hamas mingled the troops among the people. This strategy allowed Hamas to show pictures of the innocent people who were killed and allowed them to win the public relations war. The end result was that the Israelis were convicted in the poll of public opinion of genocide.
