The 1967 and you Kipper war were unprovoked attempt by the neighboring Arab neighbors to destroy Israel.
The so-called examples in that link are a complete misrepresentation of what led to that.
They tried to destroy Israel, and as a result of those wars, Israel captured land. Prior to that Jews were not allowed into Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights was used to launch missiles constantly into Israel.
