"CME" Key Questions 45-50

1) By the end of 1949 700,000 Jews total, the ones whom were in the army were trained. They set up kibbutzim's which the Jewish immigrants worked and lived on co-operative farms in which everything was shared. With aid from USA and reparations from Germany Israel was able to irrigate and cultivate the land. In the 1950s and 60s Israel became very industrialized.

2) The Fatah were apart of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan they were also apart of the PLO which explicitly said they were going to eliminate Israel since it was really Palestinian land. The Fatah had raids on the Israeli's which enraged Israel to attack them back. Syria however added to this by supplying men and weapons to the Fatah in order for them to attack Israelis.

3) I think the USSR has a little blame in the war because they told the surrounding Arab states that Israel was planning a attack which was not the case. Also Egypt and all the Arab states which moved troops in dangerously close towards Israel, Nasser had the UN troops removed from the Sinai as well meaning they share part of the blame. Also Israel shares blame in the war because they decided to strike pre-emptively in fear that it would be a repeat of 1948, the air force decided to destroy the air fields of the other countries on June 5th before they'd be able to all attack Israel.
