The war was one of survival. The lands taken were of the need to better defend themselves. Israel may not be squeaky clean in their "assistance", with the Palestinians, but given the ongoing war being run against them, with the sole goal of driving Israel from the region......i tive Israel far more latitude in defending themselves, than others I suppose. If they wanted they could have annexed the entire region, even carpet bombed Palestinians, if they actually were of that mindset. They just want to be left alone
