Once you explain about the 380,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

1. The neighboring countries already knew of the Israeli state and were not going to accept it from the beginning. How many days before they attacked doesn't mean anything since this conflict has been going on for a half century. The British knew a conflict was coming and the British tried to compromise with the Zionists but they refused to go anywhere else. It does not justify the Arab attack on Israel but it means we could have done something to avoid it.
2. I might go a little off-topic with this but right now, but the Jewish immigration was in the best interests of the Jews for obvious reasons but it is the part of them kicking everyone out and keeping them in poverty is what I extremely disagree with. A single Israeli state will only cause conflict because both sides will never accept the other but if we join them together, it leaves room for compromise and a new step forward. Not all Arabs want the Israelis dead, it is just an extreme view taken by few. These few are the ones committing the crimes against Israel so they get more attention.
