What happened?

Answer 1

What happened is that the Arabs under the leadership of Aman PASHA refused this deal and declared war on the Jews with the hopes of wiping them off the face of the map. After 6 wars and 2 intifada's they have learned that they cannot win this way so they want to get as much land away from Israel politically so that they then will have a greater chance in defeating the Jews and removing them off the face of the map.

Answer 2

.

In 1947, the United Nations had recommended partitioning Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, a plan which Arab leaders rejected. The British mandate over Palestine was due to expire on 15 May 1948, but the Jewish leadership, led by future Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, declared independence on 14 May. The State of Israel declared itself as an independent nation, and was quickly recognized by the Soviet Union, the United States, and many other countries.

By the end of May, approximately 6,000 Syrian, 4,500 Iraqi, 6-9,000 Transjordanian, 1,000 Lebanese and 5,500 Egyptian troops had invaded the territory of the former British mandate, joining the Palestinian irregulars. The Transjordanians fought only in the areas alloted to the Arab state and in the Corpus Speratum of Jerusalem, while the Syrians, Egyptians, Iraqis and Lebanese invaded the territory alloted to the newly-created State of Israel.

Answer 3

Yes, it "gave" over half (56%) of the territory to the minority (33% Jewish/Zionist) population, who legally owned under 7% of the total land area.

The first major massacre of the ensuing war was committed by Zionist forces at Deir Yassein, outside the area allotted to them under the partition plan, and a month before Israel was "attacked" by the neighboring Arab states. It isn't the whole truth, to say the Arab states attacked Israel on its founding and lost territory because they lost the war.

Another interesting fact is that prior to 1948 Palestinians were the majority population of what became "greenline" Israel. The ethnic cleansing campaign was long pre-meditated by some Zionists and systemattically carried out especially in the latter part of 1948.

Answer 4

The 1947 land grant is inadequate. The Balfour assertion which grow to be general interior the 1910's approved a Jewish domicile land that could desire to comprise the land that all of us understand as modern-day Israel and Jordan. at present Israel in basic terms is residing on below 33% of that promised land. Biblically talking God Granted Abraham, the father of the Jewish human beings, each and every of the land between the Nile and Euphrates. So as quickly as we communicate the West financial company we actually might desire to ask ourselves of what river.

Answer 5

After all the attacks against the Jewish nation, the Arabs lost a lot of ground. Historically, there was never a nation named Palestine, and there are no such peoples as Palestinians, they are all Arabs.

The Arabs had every opportunity to create an Islamic State next to Israel originally, but they refused. Until 1998, the "Palestine Charter" stated its intent was to destroy the State of Israel completely. The Arabs never intend to resolve their differences with Israel, they still refuse to take action to establish a permanent peace with their neighbors, and do not deserve control of an independent nation under these conditions.

Its OK, the Arabs forefathers stole it from the Jews originally. So its like the Arabs are giving up what was never truly Arab land in the first place. Israel belongs to Jews, always did. The bloody sword of Mohammad doesn't change that fact.

Answer 6

Several wars happened.

Israel was attacked the moment it was created (almost literally), and for the most part, they never gave back the land that they conquered in their counterattacks (with the obvious exception of the Sinai peninsula) -- preferring to keep this land as a buffer zone.

Answer 7

If I remember my history correctly (and I think I do), some of the Mideast countries invaded Israel. When they lost, Israel annexed some of their territory.

Answer 8

Yeah,Palestine should be taking up most of Jordan not Israel.

Answer 9

After the end of WW2 the allies stepped in and gave the persecuted Jewish people more land to live.

But the land was stollen from the Isralies by the Palestines to start with...

Answer 10

Yeah, Zionist take over...
I think they rule the world by proxy..
Pity stupid west.
