"because it seems that only military operations can discourage the plans for a people's war with which they threaten us."

Thanks for fleshing that out! That is a wonderful summary of Israel's foreign policy.

Bottom line Thomas, if somone were surrounded by sworn enemies

Egypt was not a sworn enemy of Israel. Egypt always offered peace treaties and negotiations. Israel refused to sign a peace treaty with Egypt in the early 1950s, then committed acts terrorism in Egypt (Lavon, etc.), then invaded Egypt in 1956, and on and on.

<<< In the 1950s few people believed that Nasser had aggressive intentions towards Israel. Richard Grossman, a British Zionist, wrote in 1955 that: "not only Egypt, but the whole Middle East must pray that Nasser survives the assassin's bullet. I am certain that he is a man who means what he says, and that so long as he is in power directing his middle-class revolution, Egypt will remain a factor for peace and social development" >>>
