Of course they did Thud105 (an unfortunate user name in this discussion, n'est-ce pas?) but you're comparing apples with penguins, and I'm talking about the pilots, not the planes.
The IAF of that era had perhaps the best fighter pilot training and development program known to man, whereas the Arab nations had... well... Arabic attitudes towards training and combat.
There was only ever going to be one winner, and it had nothing to do with the aircraft involved.
