Let's not ignore the last 60-70 or even 1400 years.

Israelis hit back hard. But they haven't been the ones to declare war on peaceful neighbors.

It wasn't them who stood for thr München massacre or a number of plane hijackings in the 70ies.

It wasn't Israelis who blew up buses in Gaza.

Was it?

We must stop confusing powerful with evil and currently helpless with "innocent".

What a delightful selection of specific incidents.

In just the past two weeks Israel attacked a half dozen of its neighboring countries.

Israel itself is a belligerent Western colony that has been ethnically cleansing Palestine since the 1940s.

It is the obligation for an occupied people to resist their occupiers, and according to the UN that is up to and includes violent resistence. The entirety of Palestine has been increasingly under occupation since Israel's inception.

Countless UN resolutions highlight Israels belligerence time and again with only the US and its subservient states like Micronesia voting against the overwhelming voice of the whole rest of the world.

Israel is an evil apartheid genocial settler colonial state that has brought nothing but further war and bloodshed to the region, and nothing Zionists state can change that fact.

1400 years ? it was a creation of the second world war, but anyway regarding neighbors you mean other than bombing iran, syria, yemen, lebanon I believe in all these cases israel attacked first and thats in the past 12months. I think your point was meant to be more that Israel has a right to defend its self and I think most people and countries would back Israel in that right if the response had been proportionate. instead theyve killed record numbers of journalists(worst in history https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/ng-interactiv...), 70% of the dead are women and children (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn5wel11pgdo), more than a thousand are dead due to starvation directly caused by Israel, this isn't how wars are fought.

If the powerful are genociding the helpless, then the powerful are evil. It doesn't matter who hit whom first.
