Well FlyingFrog, Its true that Israel took the lands of the Palestinian-Arabs in 1948 and later in 1967....But that is not robbery. In 1948 Israel was attacked and won. The ground we conqoured was not very large. We held on to it as the country was small as it was, and very hard to defend against arab attack. 1967 is a diffrent thing: Israel did attack first, but this is after much provocation by Egypt and Syria.
Listen, as I already have summrys of these conflicts on my under-construction site ill let you guys have a sneak peak:

1967 Six-Days War:

Note also that being defensive on the Super-Stratigic level dose not nesesrialy mean being defensive on the Super-Tactical one....You can take an area to defend your homeland....That is not the same as taking it to launch attacks on other countries(examp: Golan Heights under Syrian rule, 1948-1967)
