    The only time Israel started hostilities that lead to war was in the 6 day war, which was a preemptive strike after Egyptian provocation. Every other time they were attacked first.

      As i mentionned before zionist plan of colonization was pretty clear from the zinoist leaders statements themselvesso the 1948 was the preemptive war. Egypt didn’t plan to start a war, the six president of israel admited that

      The Egyptian Army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack him.

      In contrary Nasser was proposing to resurrect and expand the EIMAC which was created to monitor ceasefires, investigate incidents, and facilitate communication between Israel and Egypt, the proposal was rejected by Israel a sign that it Israel didn’t want to use diplomacy. 2 days before Nasser was going to meet with american diplomats and politicians to easy tension, israel did it’s surprise attack.
