"Egypt's blockade of the Straits to Israeli ships and ships bound for Israel in 1956 and again in 1967 was a catalyst, respectively, to the Suez Crisis and the Six-Day War"

Sorry, but there's your aggressors.

What did you do, copy a line out of Wikipedia?

I urge you to read more deeply and more comprehensively into the conflict. The French, English, and Israelis are commonly seen as the key aggressors and were condemned at the time by the international community.

Nasser was no hero, but to describe Israel during the crisis as an innocent third party injured by Egyptian aggression is simply not true.

Commonly seen as the aggressors, by who? The Arabs? What a surprise....

By historians....
