It was right to create Israel in 1948

1. "Those with the most fire power must be right" This claim is flawed in several respects. First, it was not the Jews who attacked the Arabs, but the other way around. The land that Israel received was rather small in respect to what was given to the Arabs and Palestinians. The U.N. Resolution called for land to be given to all the people groups in the region. However, due to the anger that the Arabs have for the Jewish people war was declared in order to wipe this new nation off the map. The Jews won (fighting a defensive battle) and then (rightly) extended their territory to promote better security. You can see from the map I posted in the comments section that the land given to the Jews was rather small, and it did not include as many heavily populated areas as you may think. In fact the Arabs initially received better land than the Israelis did. 2. Migration You continually harp on the fact that the Jews that migrated were white and European. Many of them were, but others came from America, South America, Asia, and North Africa. This is a vast people group that was spread across the entire globe, not just Europe. You also make the claim that the land was already filled to the brim with populated areas. This is simple false. Palestinians were initially allowed to become citizens of the new Jewish state. However, instead of staying many Palestinians simply fled or did not desire to be a part of the new country. In fact many scholars and newspapers of the time state that Arab leaders were responsible for some of the evacuation of the Palestinans from their homes; in fact, A 3 May 1948 Time magazine article attributed the exodus from the city of Haifa to fear, Arab orders to leave and a Jewish assault.The Economist attributed the exodus from Haifa to orders to leave from the Higher Arab Executive as well as expulsion by Jewish troops. Other historians also make claims that the Palestinian exodus was not as black and white as you make it out to be. So before we completely pass all blame to the Jews let us look at this situation in a more un-biased light. 3. Terror I don't know where you are getting your information that Jews were committing acts of terror before 1948, but I would like to point out that Jews were actually getting displaced and abused in this region more than the Arabs were! The Arabs actually acted in prejudice against their Jewish neighbors. One cannot put all blame on one people group in the region. We must look to the fact that both groups have committed atrocity on a similar scale throughout history, and both should receive nation-states. This would have occurred much sooner if the Palestinians did not declare war on the Jews. There were many other options available to come to terms with this new nation-state besides war and terror. However, the Arabs immediately went to the most peaceful option. 4. Gaza Gaza was actually created decades after the war of 1948, before this time the Arabs had control of a much larger area under the U.N. resolution. However, with a declaration of war comes loss of land if one loses, and therefore the Gaza strip was eventually created after years of land lost from wars that the Palestinians instigated. 5. Ancestors Israelis also held property in the region as well during this time. It was not purely Palestinian. I would also like to point out that if someone is ripped away from their homeland, and forced to assimilate it is very difficult to not have a common country or culture to move to. The Holocaust created an example for the world that the Jews needed a safe haven from atrocity and racial attack. This was not a desire to "kick Palestinians out" but to establish a safe haven for which to protect themselves from the dangers of a world that simply despises Jews. This is not a black and white issue. Reparation was required, but stained by war. One side is not in the right anymore than the other. What is right is to establish a place for both races to call home.
