Holy mindless rant, Batman. Since I cannot prove a negative, how about you posting a 1948 map of Israel and we can discuss where any of the Arab armies entered?The bottom line is that nobody invaded Israel as Israeli propaganda states. It is just another of Israel's looooooong list of lies.Ok, so the above sentence means that they did not invade (although the word Invasion is the third word in it) and that all of those military forces simply "entered" Palestine on May 15, 1948.
Was it like a tourist event, from all those countries, on the same day?
Was there a convention held on some part of newly Independent State of Israel, that all of those people, from all five countries simply "entered" Palestine?
Here is the rest of the paragraph after the word Palestine
" - Jordan having declared privately to Yishuvemissaries on 2 May it would abide by a decision not to attack the Jewish state.[12] The invading forces took control of the Arab areas and immediately attacked Israeli forces and several Jewish settlements"
"Nowhere" does it say that the five Arab countries invaded Israel on May 15th, 1948?
And your evidence of it comes from where to refute what you call Israeli Propaganda ?
Merely saying that it is "Israeli Propaganda" because you may have read it somewhere that one should call it that, does it make it so?
I would like you to present the evidence that the Arab countries's armies stayed put in their countries on May 15th, 1948, and it was Israel upon declaring Independence, decided to invade all of those countries in order to what (?)......take more land ?
Against such a large population of Muslims living in all of those countries?
You do have sources to provide for me, do you not?
Photos and videos as well.
International news clips stating that Israel possibly went mad the day after it declared Independence and decided to take as much land from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Jordan as it could?
Here is a good sized map of what happened.
Israel - Map of Arab Invasion - War of Independence 1948
Kindly answer this:
The Arabs were already fighting the Jews after the UN officially
recognized Israel as a country ready to sustain itself and be self-governing in November of 1947.
The battles between them were still on going when Israel declared Independence on May 15, 1948.
Why not simply defeat the Arabs fighting within what had become Israel on that day and make sure that borders would be secure?
Why not invade only one other Arab country, especially Jordan
(TransJordan was to be part of the State of Israel per the Mandate for Palestine in 1920. The British changed the rules and gave it to the Arab Hashemites)
When the Germans started WWI or WWII, they invaded only one front at a time.
What would Israel have achieved, in the middle of fighting the Arabs within its borders, by invading not only one, not two, not three, not four, but five of the Arab countries all at the same time?
The Muslim and Christian Palestinians were defending themselves from Jewish attacks on Palestinian villages, towns and cities within the Arab partition. Jaffa, for example, had been under siege by the Jews for weeks and surrendered before the Arab League intervened (or Israel declared itself a state). The Arab League intervened to try to stop the Jewish attacks and eviction of the Muslims and Christians from the Arab sector. The Arab League only entered the Arab and international sector to prevent the Jewish massacres of Muslims and Christians.
What Arab Partition?
The one from the UN the Arabs did not accept?
The Partition which meant nothing to the Arabs because they
considered the whole area still Muslim land, in which only Muslims were allowed to be sovereign of?
That Partition?
Jewish massacres of "unarmed" Muslims ( and Christians) who had not started that war in November of 1947 after the Arabs rejected the UN Partition.
Only to add the Arab league countries which also could not accept a non Muslim sovereign country on land once conquered by Muslims.
Study and learn Arab and Muslim thinking.
It is all there in their writings for the past 1400 years.
