  1. Only lie and half-truth, even the map of Palestine at 8'02" shows 1/4 of the territory remaining after the creation of Jordan, which occupied 3/4 of Palestine. and in 1947, the UN began dividing 1/4 between Arabs and Jews. The Jews agreed to any option, the Arabs to none and refused to recognize the UN plan for the partition of the remaining 1/4 of Palestine from 11/29/1947.

  2. The Arab-Israeli War (1947-1949). On the eve of November 29, 1947 - the UN decision on the Palestinian question (on the creation of TWO states - Arabs and Jews), the Yishuv delegation met with the leadership of the League of Arab States (LAS) in an attempt to work out a compromise solution on the division of spheres of influence in Palestine. This attempt was met with rejection. The Secretary General of the Arab League, Azzam Pasha, made it clear to the Jewish envoys that there would be no peaceful partition of Palestine and they would have to defend their right to any part of the territory of Palestine with weapons in their hands. In October 1947, the Secretary General of the League of Arab States (LAS), Azzam Pasha, declared  "… this will be a war of extermination and momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacre or the Crusader wars."

  3. Arab leaders, including the League of Arab States and the Palestinian Supreme Arab Council, categorically rejected the UN plan for the one more partition of Palestine and said they would make every effort to prevent its implementation. Sluggish clashes between Jewish and Arab paramilitary groups began to escalate into a full-scale war. The Arabs' plans at the first stage of the conflict included preventing the creation of a Jewish state, and since the proclamation of Israel's independence on May 14, 1948, its complete destruction ("to throw all Jews into the sea") and the division of all Palestine between Syria, Transjordan and Egypt. In just four months after the adoption of the UN resolution on November 29, 1947, 884 Jews were killed.
