A common myth in the West is that Israel only fights defensive wars because it is constantly attacked first and never acts as the aggressor. This claim is promoted everywhere, from YouTubers and livestreamers like Destiny to late night talk show hosts like Bill Maher. This narrative is false. In this educational documentary, I examine the historical record and take a closer look at just a few of Israel's many military engagements to challenge it. Beginning with the Nakba of 1948, I then cover the Suez Crisis of 1956 and the Six Day War of 1967 before moving on to both Israeli Lebanese wars and concluding with Operation Cast Lead.
