I forgot to mention, you also never backed up your statement that "Israel did not win the 1948 war"
I provided a link, and you provided a song and dance
Preamble
The Parties to the present Agreement, responding to the Security Council resolution of 16 November 1948 calling upon them, as a further provisional measure under Article 40 of the Charter of the United Nations and in order to facilitate the transition from the present truce to permanent peace in Palestine, to negotiate an Armistice; having decided to enter into negotiations under United Nations Chairmanship concerning the implementation of the Security Council resolutions of 4 and 16 November 1948; (2) and having appointed representatives empowered to negotiate and conclude an Armistice Agreement;
The Avalon Project : Egyptian-Israeli General Armistice Agreement, February 24, 1949
An armistice was called by UN Security Council resolution. An armistice has no winners or losers.
In addition:
The borders for Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and Palestine remained unchanged from before the war. None of them lost any land.
So, what did Israel win. When the war ended Israel occupied 78% of Palestine.
When you say Palestine, are you talkingt about the Arab STATE PAlestine, during the time period we are discussing ?
Not a relevant question.
