Arabs started the ‘48 War. Now, you know.General Assembly votes are not binding and cannot authorise member states to use force. The matter was to be taken up be the Security Council, who can authorize member state to use force. Nothing in the UN Charter says they have the power to create nations however. The poor Palestinian villages, often made of Mud Huts, had very little common defense against the superior Israelis who began cleansing it's side of the so called partition village by village before they declared independence. Arabs, as was typical, reacted violently to the UN vote as well, giving the future Israelis plenty of excuses to resort to violence themselves.
