No longer tenable means that it behave was tenable before (that the Arabs were the attackers, but now that the Jews are attacking the attackers, it's no longer tenable, DUMBASS. Even a sixth grader would understand what that text means. You just shot yourself in the foot with that quote. Ha ha ha.
Here's Monte's quote, which totally shatters his claim: "in the present circumstances the Jewish story that the Arabs are the attackers and the Jews the attacked is no longer tenable."
Meaning, that the Jews are starting to defend themselves, despite the fact that the Arabs were the initial attackers. There is no other way to interpret this. That's why Monte cut out the phrase that came right after that sentence:
"Elements on each side are thus engaged in attacking or in taking reprisals indistinguishable from attacks."
Meaning, the Arabs can no longer be considered the only attackers. The Jews are also engaging in counter attacks and defending themselves against the savages now.
So conclude, the Jew hater Monte has nothing but bullshit, lies, and mutilated documents. If there's anybody that's obviously getting paid for spreading lies and false propaganda it would be Monte. I wonder if he's posting from the basement of some mosque that's on the FBI's radar?
No longer tenable in this context means the Zionists lied. "THE JEWISH STORY" is what is UNTENABLE. Here check this out, it might help you
Word order and sentence structure Clear English grammar
What used to be tenable is no longer tenable. The Jews are now also the attackers. Notice the word "THUS", meaning...therefore, currently, BOTH SIDES ARE ATTACKING EACHOTHER, ITS NO LONGER THE ARABS ONLY. Even a sixth grader would be able to conclude that, flunky.
No, it is no longer tenable because, the claims of the Zionists were found out to be false. The British further detailed the Zionists attacks in yet another report published on 21 January 1948. There is so much of this material in the archives, every time you try to deflect, more will be found.

"the Government of Palestine is faced with the practical difficulty that in spite of these representations the
Hagana continue to carry out outrageous attacks on Arab villages and buildings. The latest instance of this was the blowing up of the Semiramis Hotel by the Hagana. The Hagana are in no sense a disciplined force and incidents are continually occurring in which their members provoke attack.
The National Military Organization and Stern groups are either completely out of control or (as the Arabs believe) are secretly countenanced.
In recent exploits by these groups in Haifa and Jaffa they have killed thirty Arabs and wounded some 120 and they continue vigorously to attack the police and army. The Jewish community appears to be still unwilling to heed the warnings so often given by the Administration over the past two years that unless these terrorists are traced and handed over to the police they will not only make any chance of peace impossible...,"
A AC.21 SR.16 of 21 January 1948
A record of Arabs attacking and Jews counter attacking. Irgun and Haganah were independent militias created to defend against Arab Muslim savagery.
You forgot to post this, document mutilator, liar extraordinaire:
Throughout the whole period, however, there has been adequate military force within the Old City to protect the Jews and although sniping has taken place on both sides,
there has been no question of a general attack by the Arabs. Food has been taken in to the Jews whenever required by strong military convoys and allegations that they have been starving are baseless.
Yes, it says that there was no general Arab attack. Only sniping between the two parties. So what? (and it says the Jews were fibbing about starving)
But let's delve into this further, since you seem to want to explore further. The Arabs had been under constant attack by Jewish terrorists, the British reported it thus:
"Publicity has been given to the situation prevailing in the Old City of Jerusalem, and His Majesty’s Government and the Government of Palestine have been accused,
inter alia, of allowing the Arabs to blockade the Old City of Jerusalem and to isolate some 1,800 Jewish inhabitants and to starve them out. The Commission will no doubt welcome the following account of how the situation in the Old City of Jerusalem has developed and how it has been dealt with.
The facts are that on 13 December, bombs were thrown into Arab crowds immediately outside the Damascus Gate of the Old City by Jews passing in motor cars. In the explosions which followed seven Arabs were killed and fifty-four injured. These casualties included women and children. As a result of this outrage, credit for which was later claimed by the Igun Zvei Leumi, the Arabs set up road blocks outside the Old City to check the identity of passers-by. These road blocks were cleared away by security forces.
On 29 December, the Irgun Zvei Leumi carried out an exactly similar indiscriminate bomb attack at the Damascus Gate, killing eleven and wounding thirty-two Arabs, many of whom were women and children. Two British policemen were also killed in or as a result of this outrage. The Arab immediately re-established their road blocks at all entrances to the Old City.
These blocks were recognized by the Government as a reasonable measure of self-defence on the part of the Arabs having regard to the indiscriminate outrages carried by the Irgun Zvei Leumi, but arrangements were made for British police to be attached to them in a supervisory capacity. Ordinary traffic of the Jews in and out of the Old City was, however, brought to an end and this led to an immediate reaction on the part of the Jews, who asserted that 1,800 members of their community inside the Old City were besieged, starved, and about to be massacred.
Throughout the whole period, however, there has been adequate military force within the Old City to protect the Jews and although sniping has taken place on both sides, there has been no question of a general attack by the Arabs. Food has been taken in to the Jews whenever required by strong military convoys and allegations that they have been starving are baseless."
