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.
