...Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, while France and Great Britain seized the Suez Canal. That's not exactly what I would call "being threatened and attacked".

In 1967, Israel used a preemptive assault to defeat Egypt, Syria, and Jordan while seizing large areas of land from each. Oddly enough, Israel used the excuse that they were being threatened by "guerrilla and terrorist" organizations. Again, that's not exactly what I would call "being threatened and attacked".

There were actually only two times when Israel was actually attacked and could use the excuse of "being threatened". The first time was 1948 shortly after Israel gained independence, and the second was in 1973. All other clashes between Israel and her neighbors have been initiated by Israel.
