British were pressured to accomodate the Zionists (by violence if you are/were not paying attention). >>> And UN was pressured diplomatically...Than Jews won every war (defensive and offensive) The establishment of the State of Israel is a root of the conflict (or catastrophe from Arab position) But no one argue that, right?

<< What the Arabs were concerned about were the unlimited immigration policies the British were pressured to accomodate the Zionists ... >> Unlimited??? There are how many hundreds of millions of Arabs? There is how many millions of acres of Arab land? There was plenty of room to accomodate the relatively small number of emaciated jews. The only reason to be against immigration has to be racial or religious hatred. The Arabs and the Jews could have lived in peace together, but the Arabs refused to extend a hand of friendship, only a hand with a gun in it. The Arab reaction was shameful.

From all accounts, the Arabs did not put up a fuss about accepting Jews (there may have been others who were not Jewish) fleeing that nut from Europe. What the Arabs were concerned about were the unlimited immigration policies the British were pressured to accomodate the Zionists (by violence if you are/were not paying attention). During the 30s, len, the British completely cut off Jewish immigration to Palestine in order to appease the Arabs, who were completely opposed to accepting Jews. Why don't you check your facts before spouting off like this?
