When Arab nations invaded Israel in 1948, Arab leaders urged "Palestinians" (Israeli Arabs) to leave Israel to get out of the way of invading armies.
They were told they could have the entire country when they wiped out the Jews. Fortunately, Israel defeated the Arab countries —just as they did in 1967 and 1973. The 1948 invasion came after the U.N. voted 33 to 13 to establish a Jewish state in a small part of Palestine. Now the Arabs say they would like to return to Israel's 1967 borders. In 1967, they so loved the borders that they launched a .mwar. Maybe Germany would like to return to the 1940 borders. Just ask Poland. Or perhaps Mexico would like Texas back...
They were told they could have the entire country when they wiped out the Jews. Fortunately
Jews have been a part of what is known as Palestine for many centuries.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch of July 15, 1889 reported: "30,000 out of 40,000 people in Jerusalem are Jews." In the 1939 world's fair in New York, the Palestinian booth was 100 Zionist, as was the Palestine symphony, as was the Palestine Post.
While the Arabs were helping Hitler, the Palestine Brigade (all Zionists) were fighting with the British against Hitler. The term "Palestine People" was created around 1967 after the Israelis won the war. Most of the so-called Palestinians or their parents or their grandparents came in the wake of prosperity or jobs created by Zionists in years gone by. Most of them came from neighboring countries who speak Arabic and are no differentfrom their Arab neighbors.</small></blockquote></ref>) from their homeland, was the first armed conflict fought by the modern state of [[Israel]], with a total population of approximately 600,000, against the armies of the [[Arab]] nations of [[Egypt]], [[Syria]], [[Jordan]], [[Lebanon]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Iraq]], and other Arab militias.
