<<My memory was that Israel accepted the UN division in '48 but that seven Arab states declared war.>>

So you remember that? I think that you have been lying to us about your age and My! What an old man you are ;-)

However - just to jog your memory a little bit -

The Arab political rejection of the partition plan - holylandalternatives.net
<<Why did the Arabs reject the United Nations Partition Plan?
The 1947 United Nations Partition Plan (Res. 181) gave 55% of the land to the Jews even though they owned only 7% of the land in Palestine and comprised only 33% of the population. The land that was designated for the Jewish state included prime agricultural and coastal land and would have had a large Palestinian population under the Jewish state control. The Arabs considered this unfair.>>

And the cause of the first Arab-Israeli war -
<<Is this when the Arab countries invaded Israel?
No, the Arab countries only came in later and after other events occurred. The British announced in December 1947 (a month after the Partition Plan was announced), that they would withdraw and give up the Mandate by May 15, 1948. More intense fighting broke out between the Jews and the Palestinian Arabs. Jewish fighting groups conducted military operations in a number of cities and villages and many Arabs fled or were forced out of their homes. As a result, approximately 300,000 Palestinians became refugees before the war started.>>
