    Because israel never planned to respect the partition. The first prime prime minister before the 1948 war said

    “After the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine.”

      And yet, they aren’t the ones that started it.

      It’s amazing how many backflips people will do trying to defend the Muslim attacks on Jewish people in that area over the last five centuries, while simultaneously saying that Jewish attacks are bad.

      Jewish people in that region were legally second class citizens, with different legal rules, of the previous empires behind Muslims.

        So they should have waited for israel to attack first? This quote shows that they always planned to steal palestinian land in the future so it’s completely legitimate to stop it before it happen. It’s about jews and muslims it’s just about foreigners succeding in building a state in an already populate place

          Yes, North Korea threatens South Korea and Japan all the time, but an invasion wouldn’t be justified just because they threaten.
