I really liked this but I have a couple of criticisms. This format, of simply showing the areas occupied by political entities may not be the best to explain what had occurred. 1. It doesn't demonstrate contested areas of control among Arab or Jewish allies. It also doesn't demonstrate internal conflicts such as those among the Jordanian v. AHC and Egyptians in Hebron or Bethlehem in May 1948 and December-January 1949, tension between the ALA and Lebanon in the Galilee, or the destruction of a Syrian brigade during operation Hiram, or Lebanon's conflict with Syrian tribes in October 1948 (resulting in withdrawing their forces from the area completely after their defeat in May 28-29). 2. It doesn't the size or scale of different forces or the movement of armies which were required to occupy areas. Such as Syria's withdrawal of the galilee in May 1948 they only returned , the scale of the Muslim Brotherhood's control of the south and the coast, the ALA's control of the north, or the . 3. It takes liberties with certain aspects, such as Transjordan's army moving from Jordan itself to capture kfar etzion, when the army actually moved from its base in Hebron (Transjordan had a problem after the battle of getting supplied, transporting prisoners, and reinforcements which they had to wait two days until after the mandate ended to receive, and the British withdrew from Ramat David and Haifa on June 15, (though British planes did continue to constantly patrol the skies). I think a better way to have mapped it would have been to do it similar to operations room and follow the brigades, battalions, and regiments. Or simply showing areas on the map simply as blank if they were either unknown to you or had questionable control over. Otherwise I really appreciated the level of detail to demonstrate the fighting over the roads, villages, and cities.

@@mssk2004 here’s a simple answer. You started a war of annihilation against Israel and Jewish people and you lost. You started more wars against Israel and lost those as well. Those are the consequences. Same consequences Nazi Germany faced. They lost a lot of land, a lot of people who lived on those lands were subsequently deported and sent back to the new German border, and they got their country split up for 50 years, with the East placed under tyrannical communist rule. American troops are still stationed there to this day. Do you see them claiming they’re the victims of genocide? No, because they were the ones who started the war with the world and committed genocide. They reject Nazism today and they’ve become better people for it. Palestinians will never reject their Nazism, which is to wipe out the Jewish state. Therefore Palestine will never be a prosperous place or a respectable country. Until Palestinians accept that Israel has the right to exist and Jews deserve a homeland and a safe haven, there will be no peace.

I guess the West Bank was already populated entirely by Arabs, and local Arab militias just began administering and arming themselves there.

Its a very complicated subject, but remember that the Jewish militias were around for decades under constant attack by Arab raids and forces, and were also veterans of both wars (the Jewish militias who were fighting the British volunteered to join them for WW2, because of the seriousness of the situation). They were joined by partisans and Holocaust survivors, many of whom had nowhere else to go. The Jewish militias were wildly underarmed and under embargo, and only got weapons from Czechs who were willing to break the embargo. The British supported the Arab armies and supplied them weapons for years and years. In the end it was the result of a lot of extremely serious incredibly well trained fighters who had no where to go and had survived the Holocaust or Hitler's armies, vs. Arab nations that had mostly palace guard armies with very little experience, even though they were well equipped, that mostly just wanted to go home.

All the conflict between Israel and the Arabs can be explained by this war (duh) and the motives and approach to it. The Arabs were cocky, thought the Jews would be a cakewalk after the Holocaust and actually contributed to a significant percentage of Arabs having being displaced (they Syrians proclaimed that once they liberate the land, the Arabs would be able to come back). Of course, this devastating loss had a profound impact on the psyche of the Arab world. Their escalating commitment to destroying Israel for the next few decades while using the Arab refugees as a pawn and leaving the Palestinians stateless contributed to the current situation. They had a good 20 years to form a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza and tk resettle the Palestinians, they didnt. They then proceeded to drop the Palestinians like flies once peace with Israel became good for business.
