1967 saved us big time. Also we preemptively destroyed Saddam's and Assad's nuclear weapon reactors, someone thinks that was a mistake? a nuclear sadam?

Interesting not to also link Operation Scorched Sword.

But saved whom from what? The US still invaded Iraq to the loss of 100's of thousands of lives. Israel has been subject to low-level war with its neighbor states for a half century.

I'm failing to see how any of this violence led to good outcomes.

Ah, you wouldn't have carried out those "violent" operations? You would have let Syria which later fell into civil war have nukes?
