In 1947, with the British preparing to pull out of the "Palestine mandate" that they
had controlled since early in the Century, the United Nations voted to divide the
administration of the mandate territory, with the local Arab community authorities
to administer one portion of it, and the local Jewish community authorities to
administer the other portion. In may of 1948, the local Jewish administration
declared their portion to be an independent sovereign nation, with the name of
"State of Israel". Rather than encourage the administrators of the Arab portion to
do the same, the governments of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan were so
irritated by the Jews' shamelsss public display of their intention to stay awhile,
that the armies of the Arab nations simultaneously attacked Israel from all
directions, but failed in their objective to wipe the new nation from the map
and replace it with mountains of dead Jews. Almost 63 years later, Israel still
exists, and that is the single greatest insult that its neighbors have never forgiven
and have publicly vowed never to tolerate.
