>> it wasn't the Palestinians who attacked Israel. It was the Syrians and Egyptians. Arabs are not a monolithic body. They were pretty damned monolithic at the time. Israel was attacked by a "monolith" consisting of Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and contingents of a couple of other states. There were no "Palestinians" as such, but the Arabs you refer to as "Palestinians" were in the fight. >> The Zionists were a problem well before their was a Jewish homeland. There was a Jewish homeland long before there were Zionists. The entire idea of Herzl's Zionism was to find a way for Jews to RETURN to their homeland. Surely, you're not suggesting the Jewish Homeland first came into existence after 1920. >> They terrorized the Palestinian farmers and ranchers, and intimidated the Palestinian merchants in the cities. I'm not sure what you're referring to here, but the Arabs of Palestine rioted against Jews settling the region in the late 1920s after which the Jews fought back. Other than that you'd have to be more specific. Again, I don't think you are portraying history accurately. I believe what you're referring to was retaliation for attacks against Jews who were trying to settle in the homeland stipulated by Versailles.
