Palestinians and Shia terrorist orgs prefer to forget that the sword of Islam will have to face a God of the West who isn't going anywhere, either. The International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem exists to remind Islamists of that.

Believer wars are the bane of the planet.
Most believers want to coexist -- live and let live -- but one group refuses for all eternity.
Which is all it takes for believer wars to continue.
At no time in its history has Israel attacked a neighbor unless it was provoked by suicide bombers, missiles, and/or rockets. But...
Israel will continue forever to defend (against enemies who want it obliterated from the earth) its right to exist.

If you have sources to disprove who started any of these wars, either show them or be shown as contrarily making shit up.
