the striking fact is that all of Israel's peace agreements--with Egypt in 1979, with the Palestinians in 1993, with Jordan and Morocco in 1994--were achieved in the wake of the war. The Jewish state had gained territory; the Arab states wanted it back.

Let's dispense with Jordan (they had continuous agreements since literally before Israel was created) and Morocco (hilarious that he even mentions it).

The Egyptian agreement - this is where the author and all Zionists tell the EXACT OPPOSITE of the truth, because they want to make a philosphical point that is 100% refuted by reality.

The agreement with Egypt did NOT come in the wake of the 1967 war. In the wake of that war, Egypt offered Israel a full peace treaty. Israel considered it a legitimate offer, but rejected it specifically because they felt they could negotiate for a better deal. After Egypt counterattacked in 1973 and delivered a beating to Israel (forcing the US to intervene on Israel's behalf), only then was Israel prepared to accept the same offer they had previously rejected.

The lesson of history is that Israel respects force and preys on weakness. Only when confronted with strength have they ever backed down from their desire to annex neighboring land.
