Israel was not attacked in 1948.(COMMENT)RE: Palestinians Massing At The Israeli Border
⁜→ Billo_Really, et al,
You have this backward.
QUOTE="Billo_Really, post: 22122828, member: 2873"]Those Arab armies went in with the intention of restoring the rule of law.No. Israel lost those lands in the 1948 defensive war started when five Arab armies with absolutely no rights to any of that territory invaded and captured it. It was liberated in 1967 and returned to its rightful sovereign.
Of all the States which existed in 1948, ONLY Israel had sovereign possession of that territory. By law.
What did I tell you about moving the goal posts?
The 1948 invasion (of the UN Trusteeship and the newly formed State of Israel) was Article 2(7) Chapter I, UN Charter; which was the Rule of Law.
Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter, but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter VII.
In this case, the Israel War of Independence was instigated by the Arab League, they made a conspiratorial and coordinated attack with impacted the "domestic jurisdiction" of the new state and the reaction fit the requirements of "self-defense."
Additionally, the conspiratorial and coordinated attack was executed in order to stop the implementation of the outine in the Resolution of 29 November 1948 • A/RES/181(II) • the establishment of the proposed Jewish State (Part II • Boundaries -- Paragraph B • Jewish State) and the execution of Jewish Self-Determination. In doing so, the Arab League conspired to intentionally violate The Purpose and Principles of the UN Charter.
Chapter I • Purpose and Principles said:To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
And this is only the thumbnail view. But it is important to understand the attempt to manufacture an excuse to alibi schemes to accomplish some end, in the criminal realm:
◈ Intended to harm the sovereignty of a state and constitute solely intended to harm the Occupying Power, but which does not constitute a grave collective danger, to the people forming that state.
◈ Actively advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government.
◈ The active use of foreign intervention and foreign military force to overcome a UN sanctioned operation under the administration of the UN Palestine Commission.
Most Respectfully,

Israel was attacked by the armies of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan, Lebanon and Iraq. At least Billo Really has a grasp on reality when he says they came to restore international law or protect the Palestinians, however wrong that analysis may be. But to say Israel wasn't attacked might earn you a room in a mental institution, frankly.[/QUOTE]
