∙ 13y agoThere was no "war of independence". In late 1947, the United Nations General Assembly
voted to allow Jewish authorities to oversee a piece of land in the Middle East. In May of 1948,
those authorities declared that piece of land to be an independent country, and that was
all it took. There was no war, Israel existed, and it was recognized as an independent nation
by many others around the world, including the US and UK. But there were others that were
troubled by Israel's existence as an independent nation. In fact, they were so troubled that
the combined armies of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt attacked Israel soon after its
Declaration of Independence. They failed to take over the country and bring its government
down, and although most of them are still bothered by Israel's presence after 62 years,
Israel still exists.
The war was not one of independence. It was one of survival, and Israel won that one.
