Where does this crapola come from that May/1948 State of Israel did not have defined borders? When those boders were precisely defined.
As for that other issue, namely the Various Arab states who bitterly opposed Israel being granted Statehood, then when Israel was granted Statehood, they simply exersized their military options much like the USA and all our nation do routinely.
Given the overwheming odds stacked against Israel in 1948, it could have been the end of Isreal. But due to general Arab disorganization, combined with poor planning, over optimism, history tells us, that the Arabs managed to grasp defeat from the Jaws of victory in 1948. Or we can look at it from the Israeli side, as Isreal received not only great illegal foreign help, Israel was better organized and co-ordinated than the corrisponging Arab side was not.
As for me, I cheer that 1948 Israeli victory. And I steadfastly maintain Israel would be an accepted member of the Mid-east community by 1960. But instead Israel started a program of massive land thefts against its majority Palestinian population it promised to grant equal rights to as a price of 1948 Statehood.
And here we are in 2012, and without a viable Palestinian State, Isreal will never become an accepted member of the mid-east community. Forever stretches into the infinite future, as Arabs with oil and a far vaster population will sooner or later gain military hegemony over Israel. As Israel in 1992 was in better shape than it is today, as Isreal is digging itself an even bigger hole in 2012. Sooner the USA must choose, to have a fair mid-east foreign policy or to keep siding only with Israel.
As I also maintain, the international community will give up on the Oslo accords idea that Israel and the Palestinian will ever ink a mutually acceptable deal and turn to binding third party abitration. Or alternately, if the two State solution becomes no longer viable, the remaining solution may end up being, Israel assimilating its Palestinians
with full voting rights.
Que in EK to say its all the Palestinians fault, when almost every world leader blames Israel more. As Netanyuhu has brought Israeli credibility to world record lows.
