Surrounding states attempted to stop the European Jews from destroying the Christian and Muslim villages and ethnically cleansing the Christians and Muslims from within and around the Jewish part of the partition as per the Jewish Plan Dalet which called for the expulsion of all non-Jews. Had the surrounding states not intervened to try to stop the Jews from ethnically cleansing all the non-Jews, the few Christians and Muslims that were not expelled (their offspring are the current Israeli Arabs) would have also been murdered or expelled by the Jews.
""..... a report prepared by the intelligence services of the Israeli army, dated 30 June 1948 and entitled "The emigration of Palestinian Arabs in the period 1/12/1947-1/6/1948".......At least 55% of the total of the (non-Jewish, ed.) exodus was caused by our (Haganah/IDF) operations." To this figure, the reports compilers add the operations of the Irgun and Lehi, which "directly (caused) some 15%... of the emigration". A further 2% was attributed to explicit expulsion orders issued by Israeli troops, and 1% to their psychological warfare. This leads to a figure of 73% for departures caused directly by the Israelis. In addition, the report attributes 22% of the departures to "fears" and "a crisis of confidence" affecting the Palestinian population."

You can make any excuse you want, but those 5 Arab states attacked Israel and not the other way around. Not to mention that the war they started made the situation for the Palestinians a hell of a log worse.
They went in to attack and destroy Israel, no matter how many excuses you make for them.
Do you have any proof of that?
Recent history and first hand experiences of people there would be enough for most people, but you want the whole of islam to stand up and say that they attacked Israel with the intention of wiping the Jews out.
Here is the proof you want
1948 Arab?Israeli War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There had been tension and conflict between the Arabs and the Jews, and between each of them and the British forces, ever since the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the 1920 creation of the British Mandate of Palestine. British policies dissatisfied both Arabs and Jews. The Arabs' opposition developed into the 19361939 Arab revolt in Palestine. The Jewish resistance developed into the Jewish insurgency in Palestine (1944-1947), These ongoing tensions erupted on 30 November 1947 into civil war between the Arab and Jewish populations in response to the UN Partition Plan to divide Palestine into three areas: an Arab state, a Jewish state and the Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem
On 15 May 1948 the ongoing civil war transformed into an inter-state conflict between Israel and the Arab states. A combined invasion by Egypt, Jordan and Syria, together with expeditionary forces from Iraq, entered Palestine - Jordan having declared privately to Yishuv emissaries on May 2 it would abide by a decision not to attack the Jewish state.[11] The invading forces took control of the Arab areas and immediately attacked Israeli forces and several Jewish settlements.[12][13][14] The 10 months of fighting, interrupted by several truce periods, took place mostly on the former territory of the British Mandate and for a short time also in the Sinai Peninsula and southern Lebanon
