I was not there, but from what I understand, mainstream historical accounts say Arab militias attacked first in '47
Then the Arab League attacked first in May '48
The Arab League voted against the UN proposal
The Arab counter attack?
During the first phase of that war, the Civil War from November 47 to May 14, 1948 it was Arab militias that attacked Jewish communities.
During the second phase of that war, it was the Arab League that invaded Israel on May 15, 1948
Imagine if the Arab states never invaded from the beginning and just were ok with Jews existing next door to them.
We know the Jews would have been ok with Arab Muslim states existing next to them as there are currently many Arab Muslims living and working in Tela Viv.
I looked it up, thanks for letting me know about it
BTW I didn’t down vote your comment, I appreciate all sincere discussion
To me Plan Dalet sounds like a very logical preparation Israelis would enact for the obvious massive Arab attack on them.
Just a cursory knowledge of middle eastern history makes it obvious that Arabs would instantly attack any Jewish state near them. And they did, repeatedly.
