Big Question: Was the main cause of the Arab–Israeli wars the Arab desire to destroy Israel?

Written by: C. Herzog in "The Arab–Israeli Wars, 1982". Main Points:

• Syria attacks Israel frequently via Jordan and Lebanon.
• Syrian heavy fire against Israeli villages on 7 April 1967.
• Israel responded with aircraft against Syrian forces.

🤓 Real-World Example: Imagine two kids in school. One keeps poking the other. One day, after a particularly hard poke, the poked kid stands up and retaliates. Here, Syria is the poker, and Israel is the poked kid.

Spoken by: Israeli leader, Moshe Dayan in 1976. Main Points

• Israel would provoke Syrians by sending tractors to the demilitarised area.
• If Syrians shot at them, Israel would retaliate.

🤓 Real-World Example: Remember the game of "chicken" where two people dare each other to flinch first? It's a little like that. Israel dared Syria, and when Syria responded, Israel pushed back harder.

Broadcasted by: Ahmed Said on ‘Voice of the Arabs’ radio in Cairo. Main Points:

1. The Arab goal was to destroy Israel completely.

2. All Arabs were united in wanting to eliminate Israel.

🤓 Real-World Example: Imagine a popular kid in school declaring that they won't rest until another kid is expelled. It's a direct threat and showcases intense hostility.
