Quote from: K-DogEvery year on May 15, Palestinians around the world mark the Nakba, or catastrophe, referring to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948.
The losers of wars often have different perspctives on what actually happened compared to the winners.
It would be more accurate if they marked the attempt to ethnically cleanse the Jews with the help of 5 Arab nations and BOY was sucking at war you started a mistake. No different than what the Japanese must celebrate on December 7th each year. Great victory! As opposed to each Auguust 6th or 9th.
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948. In 1947, and again on May 14, 1948, the United States had offered de facto recognition of the Israeli Provisional Government, but during the war, the United States maintained an arms embargo against all belligerents.
