1937, there was an offer of partition for two states. The Jews said yes, the Arabs said no.
The UN wanted to partition, again, in 1947 what was left of the Mandate for Palestine into an Arab and a Jewish State.
The Jews said yes. The Arab leaders said no.
After that, Arabs started attacking Jews.
May 1948, after the British left the Mandate, Israel declared Independence.
The next day SEVEN Arab states attacked Israel. Israel survived.
All Jews were expelled from Judea, Samaria and the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem by the Jordanian Army.
Arab leaders told the Arabs in the South to leave and they would destroy Israel and they would return in 2 weeks.
The Arabs lost.
Most Arabs moved out of their homes being told by their Arab leaders.
Those who fought the Jews and Israel were expelled from Israel.
The Arabs in the North, Haifa, etc, were asked to stay by Israel. They stayed.
Those who listened to the Arab leaders lost.
Those who listened to Israel, stayed in their homes.
That is the history of the area in 1947-48-49.
It was during this time, in the 1920s that the International League Against Anti-Semitism (LICA) was founded by Bernard Lecache.[64] Some Muslim reformers agreed with Lecache, among them Abdelhamid Ben Badis, Mohammed Salah Bendjelloul, and Sheikh Tayeb El-Okbi. Lecache believed in Arab-Jewish reconciliation against rising inter-communal tensions. El-Okbi would later say that "LICA is the true incarnation of the Islamic spirit. The Qur’an says that humans are born brothers and that Islam does not make a difference between races.
True Muslims do not belittle other races. They are against hatred of people, injustice and inequality."[65] In 1939, Abder-Rahmane Fitrawe published Le racisme et l’Islam ("Racism and Islam") which sought to illustrate the threat of Nazism and Fascism by arguing that they went against the teachings of Islam.[66][67][68][69]
Some of these Muslim intellectuals were criticized for allying with Jewish leaders and calling for Muslim-Jewish collaboration.[70]
