You wrote:"First, that's pretty much bull. During the 1948 war, a European group of militant Jews provided the Zionists advanced weaponry [for that time]." You are a stupid, ignorant liar. You have absolutely no knowledge of history. Why do you post, just to look the fool? Do you hope that someone will believe you? All that people will believe is that you are a lying retard! You go to the Israelis for the story???! Their version is wrapped in myth and hyperbole, and is the story of David and Goliath retold. And you call me stupid! The truth is closer to this: "In human terms, the War of Independence was Israel's costliest war. More than 6,000 Israelis were killed and 15,000 wounded. <font color=red>It was one of the few instances when Israel faced almost equal forces on the other side: 35 to 45 thousand Israeli soldiers faced 42 to 54 thousand in the combined Arab armies. Although the Arab forces were marginally better equipped than the IDF, neither side employed tanks or planes in large numbers.<font color=black> The war was not characterized by a definite chronology or a marked beginning and end. Instead, it consisted of 39 separate operations, fought from the borders of Lebanon to the Sinai Peninsula and Eilat. Virtually the entire Jewish population of Palestine, then numbering 650,000 people, was mobilized in order to meet the coordinated assault of five regular Arab armies, in addition to Palestine's 1,000,000 Arabs." minndakjcrc.org Stupid is as stupid does!
