They're hundreds of miles away from each other
there won't be a ground war. It'll be planes and missiles.

but they could just stomp all over the nice new Iraq that we just finished fixing

No, they couldn't.
Should either side send ground troops into Iraq, it'd drag the West into the war in order to defend Iraq from two, separate invasions.

Israel are what military historians call
"proper fucking mental" though. Egypt were the best example of how much of your arse you'll have handed to you on a plate if you poke them too much.

I've been to the Egyptian War Museum in Cairo.
There is a satue outside of a (modern looking) Egyptian soldier and underneath it says something like "World's Greatest Warrior".

Not against the Israelis in 56,67 & 73 they weren't.

They consider the world to be from the start of the Nile to Carthage only

In 1973 they dug their tanks in, in the desert.
And than back filled sand behind the tanks.

The Israelis took shooting practice at the tanks because they had a greater range.

If the US invaded Israel
I would be hard pressed on who to back for the win. The Israelis are *hard*. They're easily the most powerful military in the Middle East, even if they're not the largest.

As a nation, they're the wiry little scrote with the broken nose that nobody messes with. I reckon the tourist board ought to change the tagline on their holiday adverts to "Israel; we just don't give a fuck".
