I obviously need to explain this to you.

PREEMPTION IS WHERE YOU ATTACK FIRST AND MAKE EXCUSES LATER.

ISRAEL ATTACKED FIRST TO STOP AN ARAB ATTACK
GERMANY ATTACKED RUSSIA TO STOP THEM ATTACKING FIRST
JAPAN DID THE SAME TO THE US.
RUSSIA DID THE SAME TO THE FINNS.

IT IS YOUR COMMENT NUMBER 4 THAT MAKES NO SENSE.

"Israel was in its pre-1967 borders when half a dozen arab countries teamed up to wipe her off the face of the map. "

The arabs did not attack. Israel attacked, and won. The arabs were never going to "wipe israel off the face of the map".

The best course of action for Israel was to wait for an invasion? Puleeze! The "excuses" were quite apparent. The Arabs were massing and declaring for Israels destruction. Sorry, but a Jewish cabal wasn't planning it.

You should read the Palestinian National Charter" formerly known as the Palestine National Covenant.

snip

Article 19: The partition of Palestine in 1947, and the establishment of the state of Israel are entirely illegal, regardless of the passage of time, because they were contrary to the will of the Palestinian people and its natural right in their homeland, and were inconsistent with the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations, particularly the right to self-determination.

Article 20: The Balfour Declaration, the Palestine Mandate, and everything that has been based on them, are deemed null and void. Claims of historical or religious ties of Jews with Palestine are incompatible with the facts of history and the conception of what constitutes statehood. Judaism, being a religion, is not an independent nationality. Nor do Jews constitute a single nation with an identity of their own; they are citizens of the states to which they belong.

All through it, they speak of liberating their homeland. Not of creating a homeland, of liberating their homeland. Part of that land would be th very land where Israel is.

Sounds like wiping them off the map.
