Please provide source and documetation of this offer
The British succumb to zionist terrorism and left the country (leaving the Palestinians mostly disarmed and the zionists armed) and the Jews were much better organized and much richer anyways with all their western support..
The Brits didn't succumb to anything, they tried to create peace between Arabs and Jews and when they couldn't they tossed it to the UN to settle.
they took advantage of this and launched a vicious ethnic cleansing operation.. the arabs did not immediately attempt an invasion as soon as the british left, they invaded after droves of refugees were streaming across their borders.
Again source please...The Un declared Israel a state May 14 1948, the day the British mandate expried...Over the next few days, approximately 1,000 Lebanese, 5,000 Syrian, 5,000 Iraqi, and 10,000 Egyptian troops invaded the newly-established state. Four thousand Jordanian troops invaded the Corpus separatum region encompassing Jerusalem and its environs, as well as areas designated as part of the Arab state by the UN partition plan. They were aided by corps of volunteers from Saudi Arabia, Libya and Yemen.
umm, war was declared after the UN vote in 1947, so how long did they have time to do an ethnic house cleaning .
