Not to argue and split hairs, but parts of 5 countries at the time went to war. Both sides were contributing to the unrest beforehand. And you say it was Palestinian land? Actually it was british, then ottoman before that, then from everyone from roman to egytpian. To debate "whose" land it was originally is a concept that would go back to israel and the oroginal civilizations of the levant. Palestinian muslims didn't come around till 700AD. Again, a pointless argument. Who was in america first, whose land was siberia before Kingdom of Rus conquered it. Neither side fully wanted the resolution which created the war. Don't tell me for a fucking second has Egypt, Syria or lebanon won any of the wars that Israel would still be an existing state, you know damn well it would not.
