"Palestinians didn't start Israel's existential war of independence."
The Arabs in Palestine before the 1948 British pull out but after the 1947 drawing of the lines, were basically saying Israel couldn't exist, that they wouldn't tolerate the existence of Israel. Where as the Jewish people agreed with the "three" state solution that was presented.
Same story different day with this BS.
The Arabs then said they would exterminate the Jews in Palestine. This was before shots were fired in hostilities.
Take from that what you will, but once the British pulled back in to the "three" state solution. The Arabs Elites, and nations, told arabs living in Israel state to leave, and they would be rewarded when Israel was wiped out off the face of the earth, so most left and became refugees.
Well it didn't go as planned, and the Arab muslims that stayed still own their homes.
Again, WTF is Israel doing in a Euro competition in the first place?
