Do you know the answer to a history question about the Middle East 1948 war?

Asked by JLeslie (65464points) November 8th, 2023 from iPhone

Correct me if I’m wrong. The 1948 war was started by the Arab League against Israel. Several nearby countries to Israel started it, Israel pushed them back and got more territory. It seems to me, if the Arabs had just accepted Israel when created most of the hostility over the years could have been avoided.

Analogy: If Ukraine gets part of Russia when Russia started the war, is anyone going to say to Ukraine give it back? Have any countries in history given back land when the other country started the war?

This is about history not the current situation in Israel.
