<nice job, skipping the 56, 67 and 73 wars. Were they Israel's idea, btw?>

By my count, those 3 wars sum up to: 50% Israel's idea, and 50% Arab:

1973: 100% Arab idea. They launched a surprise war of aggression against Israel.

1967: I split this 50/50. Israel started shooting first (pre-emptive war), based on non-imaginary evidence that Egypt was about to attack Israel. Israel unnecessarily expanded the war, to include Syria and Jordan. Those two nations probably would have stayed out of the war, if they hadn't been attacked first by Israel.

1956: 100% Israel's idea (in cooperation with the other colonial aggressors, France and England). This was a pure war of aggression launched by colonial powers against Arabs.
