In 1948, Israel's path is set and it comes with the UN. That path tragically in my view leaves the Arab future in this region a mess. It wasn't supposed to be that way. There was a plan that probably wouldn't have worked, but it was aPlan that the Arabs rejected. If they had said yes, then we would probably be looking at a very different scenario. But they said no, the Jews said unhappily yes,. Then the Arabs of course unleashed a war on May 14. And they lost. The borders that it ends up with people call the 1967 borders basically because they don't change again till 1967.
