Northern Israel called "1948 lands" and "occupied territories"

It is said that in 1948 five Arab countries attacked Israel. These five countries lost and Israel won land.
Cool, isn't it?
This is false.[/size][/i]
I knew arab cheeleading crowd would say that.

A cease fire was called by UN resolution to end the fighting. No one surrendered. No one won or lost that war.
Exept that, arabs had happily lost land.

The Israeli government signed armistice agreements with Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, (Iraq was under Jordanian command) and Egypt in 1949. These agreements came after the end of the League of Nations, after the UN General Assembly passed resolution 181, after the end of the British run Palestine Mandate, After a group of foreigners declared themselves to be the state of Israel inside Palestine, and after the 1948 war.
But we claimed earlier there had been no agreements signed, didn't we? Why the change of heart?

These armistice agreements confirmed that Palestine's borders remained unchanged. Palestine remained whole. Israel had won no land from Palestine.
One can't win anything from the nonexistent, of course.
