| CrazyGamer2017 said: Do you realize the fallacy of your argument? I think all is said when you say "The Arabs didn't declare war AFTER 1967" First I told you why, because why declare a war you are almost certain to lose? It's as if I said: A murderer that is in jail is a good guy cause AFTER he murdered and got thrown in jail, he is not murdering anymore... Of course he is not murdering anymore, he is in jail which means he physically cannot murder and not that he does not want to. Arabs don't attack because they mostly can't and not cause they don't want to. Also saying they did not declare war AFTER 1967 is a way to excuse them as if BEFORE was ok. With such reasoning you can defend Arabs no matter what. Let me show you: the terrorists of ISIS are good guys because AFTER the last attack they have not attacked again... See? That's called a sophism, a line of reasoning that seems to make sense but that actually does NOT. But you know what? Let's roll with your pro-Arab line of defense. the Arabs have NOT attacked Israel AFTER 1967, you are right, but here is the catch: ISRAEL did NOT ATTACK or INVADE those Arab countries AFTER the events of 1967 Once they were defeated and Israel took the Golan and the Sinai, AFTER that Israel did not take anymore land, Israel even RETURNED that land to Egypt and If I'm correct returned later on the Golan heights. But Israel did not take anymore AFTER that and Israel has NOT been at war with Egypt AFTER that. Israel is at war with the ones who are still at war with them, I mean the Palestinians but the point remains: Israel is not at war with Egypt now or Jordan or any of those countries so you have no point regarding countries like Egypt. |
No, it's really not a fallacy. It's just a plain fact and it's not certain Israel would be victorious again today if the Six-Day War was reenacted. That was over 5 decades ago (just like how it's doubtful that Japan would be able win against China today), right now Israel probably wouldn't want to risk another war considering the Arab League's combined air forces and war is geographically disadvantageous for Israel ...
Conflict with the Sinai Peninsula went beyond the Six-Day War and the territory was once reclaimed by Egypt during Operation Badr in 1973 so conflict in that region ended with Egyptian victory just before the peace treaty. Israel never returned the Golan Heights to Syria either and nobody is at war is Israel, not even Palestine so how is Israel's excessive force and imperialism justified ?
