After World War 2 the British made conflicting promises to both the Arabs and the Jews who had fled the holocaust, promising what was Arab territory before colonialism to the Arabs and their occupation zone to the Jews.

During this period of uncertainty Jews from Europe began to migrate en masse to the area that is now Israel, and directives from the Arab king stated that they were to be welcomed and received as refugees. As the various nascent Arab States organized and prepared for unification, civil unrest in the area grew with blood racial mob violence on BOTH sides. Eventually the Jews formed organized militias and began ethnically cleansing the local Arabs. As the Arabs fled the four main militias something called the crossroads campaign ensued, in which roadside bombs were set and detonated with the intent of killing as many fleeing Palestinian Arabs as possible.

This paramilitary operation (Plan Dalet), rather than the British Mandate, is what led to the birth of the State of Israel. The Arab States waited until after the British Mandate's expiration to attack the Israelis, choosing to play by international law and with the intent of eventually repatriating the Palestinians to their homeland. What ensued was a demonstration of how a properly organized military with American military tech and air superiority can easily kick the shit out of poorly trained, organized, and equipped enemies.
