some examples...(there are loads of them) Fact is Israels policies, for what ever reasons, are provocative in my understanding the word..

Are 50 years of Arab refusal to recognize the reality of Israel provocative? Is the Arab rhetoric of hatred and rejection provocative? In 1967, the Soviets egged the Syrians into war; Syria and Egypt and Jordan massed nearly 200,000 troops on the border. Was it 'provocative' not to wait for them to roll over the border? Was it 'provocative' to offer all the territory back in exchange merely for peace and recognition, only to receive the three 'noes' of the Khartoum conference? All these 'provocations' must be understood in the context in which they occurred. Not the context that later Arab propagandists have tried to paint them in.

On the reverse side, Israel's borders with Egypt and Jordan have been quite peaceful since the peace treaties were signed. Has Israel been 'provocative' there?
