1948 Arab-Israeli War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 1948 Arab-Israeli War is referred to as the "War of Independence" (Hebrew: מלחמת העצמאות) or as the "War of Liberation" (Hebrew: מלחמת השחרור) by Israelis. On May 26, 1948, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) was officially established and the Haganah, Palmach and Etzel were dissolved into the army of the young Jewish state. In an official cablegram from the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States to the UN Secretary-General on May 15, 1948, the Arab states publically proclaimed their aim of creating a "United State of Palestine" in place of the Jewish and Arab, two-state, UN Plan. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/1948_Arab-Israeli_War   (6578 words)

Tthornton : Failure to resolve the territorial struggle between Arabs and Israelis, the creation of the Palestinian refugee problem, and the division of Jerusalem - all fruits of the 1948 war - set the framework for the struggle which continued throughout the remainder of the twentieth century and on into the twenty-first. On March 10, 1948, the Jewish defense force Haganah issued "Plan D ("Dalet") which it claimed constituted a plan for the defense of the newly emerging state of Israel, but which Palestinians claimed laid out the concrete steps of the Zionist plan to subject Palestine to an ethnic cleansing of Arabs. On April 9, 1948, the Irgun, one of whose commanders is Menachem Begin, and the Stern Gang, commanded by Yitzak Shamir, stormed the Arab village of Deir Yasin. www.nmhschool.org /tthornton/mehistorydatabase/1948_arab.htm   (1361 words)

Young Warrior, 1948 Arab Israeli War It was to strike Arab terrorist groups in their own bases, and to be the forward echelon in attacks on British radar stations. Arab areas were not searched by the British authorities, though the Arab bands used rifles and machine guns freely in attacking Jewish settlements. In the guerrilla war that preceded the War of Liberation Palmach units almost always displayed devotion and self sacrifice; they generally fought skillfully, too, though sometimes they too got into a "balagan" or screwed up and often were committed against overwhelming odds in men and weapons. www.avirr.com /eli/eli-warrior.html   (12538 words)

Arab-Israeli Wars. The armies of the Arab states entered the war immediately after May 15, 1948 (the date the British withdrew and the State of Israel was proclaimed). No one, who has studied the 1948 war, believes the Israeli version, yet it is still fed to the general public, and particularly in the United States, people actually believe it. We all know that the 1948 war and consequent Jewish rape of Palestine, was actually precipitated by the action of one Mohammed Ali in the year 731 AD, when he slapped a Jew on the wrist in a very demeaning way. thewebfairy.com /nerdcities/Palestine/some-wars.htm   (1885 words)

Myths & Facts - The War of 1948 In the first phase of the war, lasting from November 29, 1947 until April 1, 1948, the Palestinian Arabs took the offensive, with help from volunteers from neighboring countries. The United States, the Soviet Union and most other states recognized Israel soon after it declared independence on May 14, 1948, and immediately indicted the Arabs for their aggression. During the summer of 1948, Count Folke Bernadotte was sent by the UN to Palestine to mediate a truce and try to negotiate a settlement. www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org /jsource/myths/mf4.html   (2292 words)

Osmanlı Tarihi Kültürü Medeniyeti Edebiyatı Sanatı During the period preceding the 1948 war and particularly during the invasion of Arab powers into Palestine, it is claimed that the Arab High Command called for portions of the Palestinian population to leave their homes. From Israeli official sources it has long been claimed that the refugee flight was in large part instigated by Arab leaders.

Al-Ahram Weekly On the eve of war When the war ended, and in 1947 the UN partition plan became a fact of life, the Arabs were faced with a situation where they could neither accept partition nor remain silent. In the case of the 1948 war, it was a regressive mobilisation that ultimately destroyed itself. All the Arab countries were mobilised in the same way, but mobilisation is one thing and winning a war is an all together different matter. weekly.ahram.org.eg /1998/1948/war_eve.htm   (4016 words)

History & Geography of Israel & Palestine. Also... Zionism, Refugees, PLO, Terrorism, Arab-Israeli Conflict After the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, their goal became two-tracked: Either (1) destroy Israel outright (the same pre-1967 goal) or (2) the creation of an Arab-Palestinian state to be used as a launching pad from which to destroy Israel. These pre-Israel Zionists (and later, Israelis) had tried to develop peacefully for the dual benefit of Jews and Arabs in the land. In fact, today's Arab "Palestinians", let by Arafat and his PLO (sanitized to the PA, or Palestinian Authority...which is nothing more than A Network of Murderers Masquerading As Government!) are still nothing more than street thugs, bullies and 'Little Saddams' found elsewhere throughout most of the most Arab world. www.masada2000.org   (5849 words)

Arab Israel War 1948-1949 The newly independent state rapidly mobilized to meet the Arab invaders; by July 1948, the Israelis had set up an air force, a navy, and a tank battalion. As a result of the war, Israel considerably expanded its territory beyond the United Nations (UN) partition plan for Palestine at the expense of its Arab neighbors. Three B-17 bombers were bought in the United States through black market channels, and shortly after one of them bombed Cairo in July 1948, the Israelis were able to establish air supremacy. www.onwar.com /aced/data/india/israel1948.htm   (627 words)

WTC: STRANGER THAN FICTION As incredible, as ridiculous, and as "paranoid" as that belief may appear to you at this point, the fact is that certain elements within the Israeli government, and Zionist movement in general, have a long history of attacking the USA and framing Arabs in order to gain support from the US. During the 1967 war, Israel occupied the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza. But the number of Israeli dead was suspiciously low, especially when we consider the report, contained in the September 12 Jerusalem Post, that the Israeli embassy in America was bombarded on 9-11 with calls from 4000 worried Israeli families. www.apfn.org /apfn/WTC_STF.htm   (17517 words)

The refinery riot was one of the few incidents during the 1947-1949 war in which Arabs killed a large number of Jews. As is his tendency, Morris attempts to mitigate Israeli moral responsibility by asserting that the occupying Israeli solders "felt threatened, vulnerable and angry" during the July 12 phase of the massacre. www.robincmiller.com /melink1.htm   (10697 words)
