There’s been very little out of the entire military. I know there’s still people clinging to belief that somehow the US military will disobey, but that is not happening. It’s as bullshit as “the Most Moral Army”, ignores the history of the military’s worst actions, and acts as though the US

Concerned but not surprised

We never incited violence, we just called this guy a member of antifa who funded terrorism and told our followers to pay him a visit ha ha and then a totally unrelated group of people threatened to murder him in front of his students ha ha

Right, "the consensus" that says it was a miracle. I'm not going to be wasting any more of my time on this conversation.

If anyone's old enough to know the theme from Taxi, they might like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIOM...

Among the Jewish troops was a large number of fresh immigrants with no war experience; but the core of the army was better prepared and more experienced. The number of fighting men on both sides, including those from neighbouring Arab countries, was equal almost throughout the war."

This was amended during the first truce in the war, in June 1948, when the Zionist leaders managed to purchase arms from the Eastern bloc, while Britain, obeying a UN decree, imposed an embargo on three armies that used only British-made ammunition: Egypt, Iraq and Jordan.

whose enthusiasm could not compensate for their lack of military skills.
The poor level of performance on the battlefield was not just an Arab phenomenon; it was evident on the Jewish side too, which was at first handicapped by lack of firepower.

Most of these armies had very little war experience, and were barely trained by the end of the Mandate. The co-ordination between them was poor, as were the morale and motivation of the soldiers, apart from a large group of volunteers,

Only at the end of April 1948 did the politicians in the Arab world prepare a plan to save Palestine, which in practice was a scheme to annex as much of it as possible to the Arab countries participating in the war.

Certainly according to official Israeli history.

From a History of Modern Palestine by Ilan Pappe: "That the Arab states succeeded in fielding any soldiers at all is remarkable.

Yup, and those Arab states never had a chance of winning. Now, Israel is the one invading its neighbors and gobbling up land.

No, I just read, and if you did you would be aware of how Palestine was emptied of Palestinians. Did Israel create three-quarters of a million refugees in 1947-8 by buying and improving land? How about in 1967? 1982?

Some land was bought, and starting in 1947, it was stolen at gunpoint. You obviously don't know much of the history.

Incorrect. Palestinians have never been offered a state. You presumably believe what is being offered now is a state, and it is not. There is no two-state solution on the table. They are offering a formalized apartheid under one state, Israel.

Life-changing learning

And if you disagree with them you must only know Nazi and CIA propaganda 🙄

The consensus in my bubble is...

It's weird when right wingers comment. Many of them live in another world, where the whole world is bowing to the left and the right wing is a persecuted minority.
