The Palestinians were at home minding their own business when foreigners came down from Europe with the stated goal of taking over the country. Then they proceeded to do just that.P F Tinmore, et al,
The successor governments were generally hindered in their mission by the combatants to the conflict; predicated on the Arab Aggressor.
(COMMENT)The Successor Government to the Mandatory was the UN Palestine Commission, which was succeeded by the UN Mediator.P F Tinmore, et al,
Yes, you generally only tell half the story.
(COMMENT)The armistice agreements were in 1949.They call for the peace in the MANDATE FOR PALESTINE not the nation of palestine
The Mandate left Palestine in 1948.
The Successor Government to the Mandatory was the UN Palestine Commission, which was succeeded by the UN Mediator.
See Post #46:
Since that time, various elements of the pro-Arab Palestinian Community have attempted to assert that because the term "Palestine" was used and went unchanged after the Mandate terminated, that there must have been a country called "Palestine." And to an extent the successor government to the Mandatory was the UN Palestine Commission --- with the adopted resolution (A/RES/189 S-2) providing for the appointment of a United Nations Mediator in Palestine, which relieves the United Nations Palestine Commission from the further exercise of its responsibilities.

You keep saying that. Where were they after May 15, 1948 when they were to protect the people and land under their trust?
Do you have some links?
The links are marked in "blue" in the previous postings.
The successor to the UNPC --- the Mediator --- was involved in the arrangement of the ceasefire and subsequent Armistice Arrangements through the Truce Commission. In the case of most conflicts, the parties to the conflict are generally not protected by the UN but fall under customary law. The UN, once the conflict is ignited, most often sets the conditions for peace negotiation for which an armistice is just one phase.
The conflict, both the civil war prior to May 15, and the war of independence after May 15, were a products initiated and aggravated by hostile Arab activity; intended to disrupt the implementation of Resolution 181(II) which the general Arab Community found unsatisfactory.

I don't see how the Palestinians can be considered the aggressors.
There was no stated goal to take over nothing.
They are the aggressors for several reasons, the first one being that they started killing/massacring Jews before any Arab was killed.
