Arabs in 1948 had almost no armies, let alone officers..While the Zionists just came out of WW2 with all the experience of a total war and the most modern equipments, tactics and strategies of the allies who backed them with everything, they have started weapons' factories in Palestine as soon as they arrived, while the most Arabs still had WW1 carbines to fight with, except Jordan who had a very good Armoured brigade equipped and led by British officers.. These are the field realities of 1948..1957 was an attack by a coalition of France, England and Usrael for control of the Egyptian Suez canal..1967 was a surprise attack, while US president Eisenhower told both Usrael and Egypt that the first one to start a war will pay with a dire price, Egypt respected that ultimatum, Usrael as we know from their attack..did not..1973 war tactics and strategies of the Egyptian armed forces are still being studied in the best Western military academies, that tells a lot who won the war.. and today the technological gap is very narrow..
Turks fought almost a 100 wars in Europe and lost most of them.. Why Turks always lose in wars?
You have so many mistakes
1948:
-------
The war began in 1947 between the Arab gangs and the Jewish militias.
In 1948 Arab armies intervened.
There were almost no Jews who were war veterans from the Second World War who came to Israel.
Israel established the IDF only in 1948 (and it still operated like a militia rather than an army).
Israel and Jordan had a kind of agreement in which it was agreed that Jordan would take control of Judea and Samaria so that an Arab state would not be established there.
Jordan and Israel always had deals under the table
The Jordanians proposed to Israel, to establish a united federation that would be an Israeli prime minister and a Jordanian prime minister, and the head of the federation would be the Jordanian king and together they would all take over the Middle East(Israel did not agree).
The rest of the Arab armies didn't fight most of the time, they simply moved their forces into Arab areas.
Israel had no strategy, the Jews failed time after time.
The weapons came from Czechoslovakia.
The only reason Israel won was because Arab armies barely did anything, and the rest of the Arabs simply fled.
The allies prevented Israel from acquiring weapons
The person who helped Israel was Stalin, through Czechoslovakia.
1956:
-------
There is nothing to talk about
Egypt had no chance against a coalition of Britain, France and Israel
It has nothing to do with the topic
1967:
-------
Israel launched a war because of provocation by the Arabs, the Egyptians threw the United Nations forces and brought in large forces to Sinai, the Egyptians blocked the sea routes of Israel in the Red Sea, and called day and night to destroy Israel.
Israel launched a preemptive attack "Operation Moked" which was successful,
The rest of the war was Arab escaping and the Israeli soldiers pursued them without even asking the commanders, which led to Israel occupying territories it had not planned to conquer.
In the face of the trained (and not cowardly) Jordanian forces, Israel found it difficult, but finally won.
All this war is more a loss of the Arabs than a victory for Israel.
The Israeli generals were cut off from everything that was happening on the ground, the soldiers in the field did whatever they wanted.
The only success Israel has had is Operation "Moked".
1973:
-------
After the Six-Day War, the stupid politicians and generals in Israel thought they could do anything.
And they were wrong, because they conducted the wars badly, luckily they had good soldiers and commanders on the ground, and a cowardly opponent.
In 1973, although everyone in Israel knew that there was going to be a war, they did nothing, they thought they were tactical geniuses and that they would always succeed without effort.
The Egyptians and the Syrians showed them that they were wrong.
The Egyptians (in a brilliant manner) and the Syrians opened the war well and managed to settle on the eastern side of the Suez Canal and the Golan. The command in Israel was in shock (the fools thought they were the best in the world) and did not function.
Then the soldiers on the ground simply refused orders and acted on their own, which blocked the Egyptians and the Syrians, and then they launched counterattacks while the command was totally disconnected from what was happening on the ground
Only after the cessation of Arab armies and successful Israeli counter-attack, the Americans agreed to send weapons while the Soviets operated an airlift (larger and longer) from the first days of the war.
In the end Israel pushed the Syrians from the Golan and reached the outskirts of Damascus
And in the Sinai the IDF surrounded the Third Army and crossed the Canal towards Egypt when there was no significant force that could stop the IDF from reaching Cairo.
Except for the United States and the Soviet Union, which threatened and pressured Israel to stop and that is how the war ended.
It is important to emphasize that Israel did not succeed in withdrawing all the Egyptian forces from Sinai.
The goal of the Egyptians in the war was to maintain the eastern strip of the Suez Canal, which would give a picture of victory and advantage in the cease-fire agreement with Israel, and thus the Egyptians would be able to return the Sinai and the lost Egyptian honor.
The great mistake of the Egyptians was that they continued to advance into Sinai beyond what they had planned and were exposed to the Israeli Air Force which massacred them like ducks.
**
Regarding the myth that Israel returned the Sinai to Egypt because of the Yom Kippur War:
The Israeli government convened in June 1967 a few days after the Six-Day War and decided to return the Sinai to Egypt, but in return for peace.
The Egyptians did not agree, they wanted to return the Sinai as the "victors" rather than as "losers".
Only when Egypt managed to achieve something that would be seen as a "victory" (crossing the Suez Canal) Egypt agreed to negotiations based on the Israeli idea of "land for peace".
Have you started imitating others?
Everything I stated is a fact, Arab armies lost every war mentioned against Israel. I am not even going into the Iran - Iraq war, we could further go into the incompetence if your might armies back then.
Do you really think that? IS has been mainly fighting other Arab factions & armies, the Syrian and Iraqi's who dropped there guns and ran, surrendered a whole cities. Without the help of Iranian, Russian, US that the war would have never turned around.
If the coalition brought there full force IS would fall in a matter of weeks, however IS is off topic here troll.
The question remains, did Arab fight badly or did Israel perform great or a combination, the Arabs had most of the early advantages here.
I've already answered that
