What kind of historical revisionist tripe are you trying to sell here? Months before Israel even declared her independence Arab irregular armies led by Fawzi al­Qawukji were already attacking Jews in Haifi. The war was raging before Israel even had a chance to accept the partition. Within 24 hours of declaring their independence on their share of the partition, the professional armies of Transjordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq and Saudi Arabia invaded. The Arabs never accepted the partition plan, and most of them to this very day have refused to accept it.
