"no recent history (1000 yrs) of war-like tendencies"????
Your lack of knowledge is boundless.
Does the Iran-Iraq war mean nothing to you?? It lasted only around eight years (1980-1988) so maybe you missed it (or weren't born yet). Although the war was started by Iraq, Iraq declared a cease fire in 1982 when they realized that they weren't getting anywhere. They suggested that they both send soldiers to fight Israel in the Lebanon war that began that year. In 1983 Iran saw an opening because of their overwhelming numerical superiority. They didn't care how many of their own soldiers would be killed. Eventually they thought they would be able to simply overrun Iraq. They stated "The Road to Jerusalem Goes through Karbala,". Don't you just love how even then they included Israel in their hatred!
In all over ONE MILLION soldiers dies on both sides with countless civilians. (FYI by comparison 80k deaths combined in ALL Arab/Israel wars!)
Every ask why so much attention is paid to this conflict and so many UN resolutions are on the books against Israel considering just how small the conflict is in the bigger scheme of the worlds other conflicts?!
