The History:
7th century until 1948, you will find that there is no Israel on any map
The history behind how this war started is very important. Most people assume that Israel has been under Jewish rule for hundreds of years. This couldn't be further from the truth. The Jews haven't controlled Israel since they were conquered by Babylon in 567 B.C. Babylon was in turn conquered by Persia, who was then conquered by the Greeks, (Alexander the Great) who were then conquered by the Roman Empire who then ruled for a very long time. Eventually, the land we call Israel was conquered and controlled by the Arabs and has stayed in their control (through the crusades) since the 7th century A.D. (Over 1200 years). Furthermore, if you look at every geographic map from the 7th century until 1948, you will find that there is no Israel on any map. In it's place you would find an Arab territory called Palestine. Israel did not exist between their exiling and 1948. So what happened in 1948?
