#### 1978 - 2000, engagement in Lebanon

#### 1987 - present, 7 more wars ISR vs PAL

# Why is ISR actually "a good guy"

## Because ISR has nuclear weapons, top-notch aircraft and all the means to wipe out all the neighbours - but they have never attacked them?!

## On the other hand, ISR was attacked at least three times with the idea to wipe it out - but ISR won

## Think again next time when you get tempted to provoke the country that is constantly in a defence

# Never forget, ISR gave us 12 Nobel Laureates...
