well,see Egyptians attacked you back in 1948 with several peaces until '67
and they are just you know tourist nation they cant have a war it would ruin them.On the other hand syrians(my vote)you messed up with them too,as they cooperated with egypt back in late 60',they look as an potencial enemy to me.

My personal opinion is that the Syrians are the more potential threat.

In respect to the other countries, the Syrians have the shortest route into the land. Even Egypt and Jordan have quite a lot of arid empty desert in most cases that provide a buffer space, if you want to call it that, to act as a time of assembly for the Israel forces. But Syria is only separated by the Golan: even though its just mountain, still it provides the quickest way into Israel. If they especially feel froggy, they can come in through Lebanon.

That and the status of their forces still remain strong. Throw on top of that a still smoldering resentment of the last couple of times they had their hats handed to them, and you do have the makings for a motivated enemy

Kind of serious...Id be a little worried too.

Hey Sherman, I got a question. (Hope I don't sound like an idiot) Don't they all usually band together and attack you at the same time anyway?
