46. your question is....
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 02:41 PM by pelsar
would the partitian plan that the UN gave israel be large enough for the population....given that the gush dan area which DOES fit within, has over 3million..the answer is obviously yes...the influx did not reach 3 million

what is the relevancy of the quesion:
Was the Arab attack on Israel hours after partition a surprise? Was the Haganah (soon to be IDF) and possibly Irgrun not ready for this
of course the hagana was ready...the arabs made no secret of their plans.....

if your asking did the israeli state take advantage of the arab attacks to make for a better defensive positions...the answer is yes.
