It was a fight between the natives and foreign settlers.
Who would call that a "civil war?" Who coined that term?
It was a conflict between the citizens of the territories to which the Mandate for Palestine applied.
Natives: Or - former enemy population.
Foreign Settlers: Or - Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country (NOT former enemy population).

Not true. The foreign settlers were not legitimate citizens of Palestine.
