- No pro-Arab-Palestinian is going to accept any depiction of the war that demonstrated the Arab as the Aggressor. They have, for more than half a century, made it a practice to be the virtual victim.
Remember, that Jordanian Forces captured the West Bank and the Egyptian Forces captured the Gaza Strip. At the termination of hostilities, neither the Egyptians or Jordanians returned the captured territories to trustee status. Jordan annex the territory with Palestinians acceptance and the Egyptians established the All-Palestine Government and a Military Governorship. The conflict was --- an invasion for the purpose of territorial expansion --- under the disguised political aim of protecting the Arab Palestinians.
(TODAY)
There is no question then, as a matter of history, the conflict of 1948-1949 between the Israelis and the four Arab Nations that participated in the conflict against Israel, is merely a reference. There are Peace Treaties between the Israel and the two major war Arab States
(Jordan and Egypt). While a state of war still exists between Israel and the remaining tow adjacent Arab States
(Lebanon and Syria); the likelihood that Syria will survive under its present form of government is doubtfully. And that will impact the state of war between Syria and Israel. If IS (Islamic State) takes Syria, and the Assad Regime falls, then Lebanon and Jordan will be in peril.
The other Arab States see this. And the realize that the West Bank and Gaza Strip will become the side-show for a much greater --- unfolding drama.
IF you are truly concerned about the Arab Palestinian people, then --- work for a settlement --- as opposed to --- justifications for a continuation of armed struggle. A greater shadow is coming. And the Arab Palestinian risks loosing any support it has with the West and the Arab World as it turns to face the oncoming threat of Jihadists.
