[QUOTE="Allen2, post: 690336, member: 7177"] Hi Cenimo! About the War of Independence: a lot of mythology has grown up around this conflict: 1.Your portrayal of Israel being born in the midst of war is right on as were the great number of Jewish fatalities. However... 2.The struggle was not exactly a Jewish David against an Arab Goliath: this notion is part of Israeli propaganda and is still being taught in Israel schools. Actually, in mid-May 1948 the total number of Arab troops operating in Palestine was under 25, 000, and the IDF some 35,000, gradually increased to a peak of 96,441. By the final stage of the war the superiority of the IDF was a ratio of nearly two to one. 3. The notion of Arab armies united to drive the Israelis into the sea is likewise a myth. The commander, King Abdullah, wrecked any unified plan by making last minute changes: his objective was not to destroy Isr. but to rule over the Arab part of Palestine. The other Arab states were out for their own interests, resulting in the military disaster that awaited them. Al [/QUOTE]
