The Jews don't attack other people first. In each of the wars since the Jewish state began, it was the Arabs who attacked Israel first. Arab nations also (until very recently) openly professed as their goal the destruction of the state of Israel.
Minor correction. In the 1956 war, Britain, France, and Israel attacked Egypt. Israel fear was that Egypt would use control of the Suez Canal to choke it to death- -most likely fully justified.

In the 1967 war, Israel attacked first. HOWEVER, the Arab states had been massing their armies at its borders for some time. It was perfectly clear tey intended to attack. Israel decided to take the initiative.

In the 1973 war, Israel did not attack first- -and almost lost.
