Israel's birthday celebrated by Utah County students

The Arabs may remember a different 1948 though much of the troubles they are in now stem from their own action. As the Brits were leaving they laid out boundaries, etc that the Arab League flat out said they would not abide by. The organized armies from 5 Arab nations to take over the entire area and dominate all Jews. Basically, the Arabs were the first to break any agreement and go for the whole enchilada, so to speak.
The Jews of Israel did not let it happen. They won the war and established themselves as a free people. The Arabs wanted to take the whole thing, set up a Palestinian Nation, live the Sharia (when the Muslim law governs everything, no Democracy, no separation of church and state) and charges all non-Muslims a Jizra, or a tax. According to the Koran if you are willing to pay a religion tax your life can be spared.
The Arabs gambled and lost. They shouldn't have.
