Lebanon was one of the seven Arab nations that attacked Israel on the first day of her sovereignty and legitimacy

On May 14, 1948 the Palestinian Jews finally declared their own State of Israel. Later that same day and on the next day, May 15, 1948, Israel was invaded by seven Arab armies.

The seven Jew-phobic nations were Egypt, Trans-Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Yemen.

Most of the Arabs living within the boundaries of the newly declared Israel were encouraged to leave by the invading Arab armies to facilitate the slaughter of the Jews and were promised to be given all Jewish property when the victorious Arabs won the war.

When the war ended, Israel won and survived despite a 1% loss of it’s entire population. Those Arabs who did not run away became today’s Israeli Arab citizens. Those who fled became the seeds of the first wave of “palestinian Arab refugees.”
