Also agreed.  However this one sided view be offered by the Israeli government is not the only view out there.  We don't live in 1984 were only one "truth" is available for public consumption.  As stated above the Palestinians are equally miscast as pacifist victims of a tyrannical, aggressive, state.

So far as I know, kinetic action began with an surprise Israeli strike on Egyptian airbases, though Israel initially accused the Egyptians of attacking first.

I would have to know what specific "misrepresentations" of the Palestinian side your were referring to adequately respond to the above points. Of course the Israeli gov. view is not the only one out there. That's why I am able to contest theirs.

Most can agree that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forcibly removed from their land in '48 and now live under Israeli control in the occupied territories and refugee camps in neighboring Jordan.  Not clear how they could be "miscast" as victims here.
