#418 – Israel-Palestine Debate: Finkelstein, Destiny, M. Rabbani & Benny Morris

Let me just add, to clarify, the war had two parts to it. The first part was the Arab community in Palestine, its militiamen, attacked the Jews from November 1947. In other words, from the day after the UN partition resolution It was passed, Arab gunmen were busy shooting up Jews, and that snowballed into a full-scale civil war between the two communities in Palestine.
