<<After all, THE AGGRESSOR COUNTRY SHOULDN'T HAVE STARTED THE WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE!!>>

Technically speaking this is actually incorrect. Sure, the Egyptians, Jordanians and Syrians built up forces on the Israeli border but Israel actually launched a preemptive strike.....understandably so given the circumstances.

On June 5, 1967, Israel launched a preemptive attack on Egypt.[13] The Arab countries denied planning to attack Israel, and asserted that Israel's strike was not preemptive but an unwarranted and illegal act of aggression.
