But the Arabs kept loosing each war as well. They are capable of learning. Unfortunately, with each war, Israel make it clear that acquiring more land was one of their goals. Bad idea. They were interested in acquiring defensible borders - wouldn't you be in their shoes? The partition lines of 1947 and the armistince liens of 1949 are both nearly indefensible. Israel is 9 miles wide at Nahariya. Furthermore, with each war, the Arabs attacked Israel, as you have said. Why should Israel owe them a do-over on the results of the war? Everywhere else, and I do mean EVERYWHERE else, if you attack a neighboring country and lose land, you're out of luck, buddy. What about the terrorist wars which helped Yugoslavia split up? What about them? Was Serbia rewarded for its aggression? Was it told that Bosnia and Kosovo should revert to Serbian control? I think not.
