    the six day war? Literally yes.

    Egypt knew that they’d be attacked if they blockaded Israel by sea and did it anyway. They then massed troops on the border, only to get whooped.

    Yom Kippur was then started to take back the territory lost in the six day war.

    Which was a war provoked by Egypt.

    even if we accept that the PLO’s attack was anything but provoked by Israeli apartheid and ethnic cleansing,

    Killing amassadors to foreign nations is obviously the correct solution to this sort of thing.

    you do realize they didn’t just fight the PLO right?

    Syria has a long history of waging war with Israel, so yes.

    They then occupied a country that did nothing to them

    Other than kill over 30 civilians in a kidnapping attempt and try to kill their ambassador.

    causing among other things the creation of Hezbollah.

    Which wouldn’t be as strong today if Iran wasn’t supplying them. Iran has also been an enemy of Israel for a long time.
