Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)
This is the sort of thing I am talking about. It is revisionist history
Jewish settlements were being attacked from the moment the British Mandate went into effect (which followed the overthrow of Ottoman control of the region by British forces) . The 1947-1948 Civil War in Mandated Palestine was started by Palestinians attacking and killing Jewish citizens and attacking legal Jewish settlements the day after the adoption of the 2 state proposal by the UN on November 29th, 1947. Look at the dates....that was before May 15th, 1948.
When the 2 state mandate went into effect at midnight on May 14th, 1948 (coinciding with the end of The British Mandate), Israel declared its independence and seized the territory they were supposed to have according to the UN's own mandate that had been under attack since November 30th, 1947. As soon as the British Mandate expired (and the British pulled out their military) Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq attacked the very next morning on May 15th, 1948 which is the Arab-Israeli War. At that time, it was the Palestinians that were attacking territory that the UN had established for the Israelis but the Palestinians and their allies would not accept the 2 state mandate from the UN.
The vast majority of the territory currently controlled by Israel beyond the borders of the 2 state mandate was taken as the result of a war where they were attacked by 4 countries and Palestine.
