They may have been trained but hardly well armed, relying on outdated single shot Lee Enfield rifles of WW1 vintage. The arab muslims were well armed in comparison and had modern semi automatics, the ones who were not armed were the Christians and Jews who were not allowed any weapons not even knives. All down to the muslims cowardice when faced by an armed opponent so they enforced dhimmi laws. They International law at the time had given Israel the right to a NATIONAL HOME and also given the arab muslims a part of the land. It was the arab muslims that wanted everything because of their religions teachings.

Criticism of the BBC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Criticism of the BBC's Middle East coverage from supporters of both Israel and Palestine led the BBC to commission an investigation and report from a senior broadcast journalist Malcolm Balen, referred to as the Balen Report and completed in 2004. The BBC's refusal to release the report under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 resulted in a long-running and ongoing legal case.[40][41] This led to speculation that the report was damning, as well as to accusations of hypocrisy, as the BBC frequently made use itself of Freedom of Information Act requests when researching news stories
Both the Jews and the muslims are slaughtered
Both the Jews and the muslims voluntarily leave
Both the Jews and the muslims are compelled to leave
And the land becomes purely Christian and is supported by the Christian nations .
The arab forces tried that 3 times so why didn't they win. The problem is the arab forces are split into different sects that refuse to work together. So a Suunni commander will never be able to command a Shi'ite army.

Israel was buying old weapons form Czechoslovakia and cannibalizing part from other machines to make as many complete to use in their defense.
Egypt and Jordan was supplied by the UK.
As has also been shown by history too large a population results in nature evening the balance through pandemics and crop failures. So the Palestinians should be making friends with Israel in case of this as Israel has the skills to combat the pandemics and crop failures
What chance is there of arab unity in any future, it will either be an extremist controlled caliphate with many deaths and illiteracy. Or it will be a moderate modern control that will make friends with all nations and bring an end to terrorism. In either scenario the Palestinians will be destroyed while Israel will be secure behind an IRON WALL
I think if push came to shove the Jews could slaughter and be remorseful afterwards, it would only take the right mixture of circumstances. Just as the British could slaughter the muslim population if the right circumstances happened. One such scenario would be the cold blooded mass murder of children by muslim extremists in the cause of palestine

Eventually the Pals will see that it's in their interest to surrender and make peace. It worked wonders for Japan and Germany. Anyways, the different factions of Islam are too busy car bombing each other over who gets to be their pope, to be of any real use to the Pals.
PS America has troops in Saudi Arabia, meaning we own Mecca, the carpet kissing capital of the world.

MrMax, et al,
There is a mistake here.
While there may be a few advisors in Saudi Arabia, there are no conventional US combat elements in the Kingdom; especial none - anywhere near - the holiest sites of Islam (Mecca and Medina); none.
The US does not want to, in any way, threaten the holiest sites in Islam. It serves no strategic purpose for American Interests and can only have a negative impact.
The US is gradually changing its strategies from one of a political-military hegemony, to that of a nation with influential economic and commercial resources with networking connections; backed by the umbrella protection of its military. To some extent, our friend "pbel" is correct, the US cannot hope to secularly tame and politically co-opt the such nations as Iraq or Afghanistan. It is inconsistent with the developmental potential of such nations having similar historical profiles.
The US will not have a chance to make a positive impact on the Middle East for several generation, if even then. It needs to back away slowly and let the natural forces of the region seek a balance. However, the political aspirations in America are not likely to understand that concept for quite some time into the future.
Most Respectfully,
R

I suppose we could add the 'Christian' options as (7), (8) and (9), but...
Would Christendom (the secularized West, and Christianity's outlying non-Western regions) care enough, in a religious context, to undertake such a Herculean task?
I'm having great difficulty believing that the answer would be 'Yes', for a variety of reasons.
Even in this kind of increasingly likely scenario, where neither a one-state nor a two-state solution can be made to work, amongst the Jews and Muslims of the region.
Whatever collective residual Crusader Mentality still exists in The West, seems to have been largely sublimated into having the Jews act as proxies and as third-party caretakers of the Holy Land.

That has nothing to do with the popularity poll of nations that BBC undertakes yearly.
I agree with this observation myself.
