Apparently at the beginning and throughout the Cold War, IMO. Not to say that I want to blame on just one side, though.

No, Israel has never been seriously threatened with elimination. Even in 1948, they were militarily superior and more organized than all of their neighbors. They in fact proved this in 1967.
But they sure love to claim that they were at the cusp of elimination at various points - again, the self-victimization complex in action :)

Yeah I think that's why they were not wiped out, not that their neighbours were super good heart. They were and still are less competent.
The point is that they were never in danger of being wiped out.
