To be fair, the soon-to-be-Israelis weren't giving us a great deal of choice in the matter.
Zionist terrorists were busy slaughtering as many Palestinians as they could get their hands on and there were 100,000 troops there trying - and failing - to keep a lid on things.
I think what eventually did for it was the complete unwillingness of either side to negotiate. The government of the day had no money to spend on what would turn into a generational conflict and, honestly, had we stayed, I'm not sure we still wouldn't be sending British soldiers over there to get killed by Zionist terrorists to this day.
Frankly the whole "Arab Israeli War" as a name isn't really appropriate. At a certain point it's kind of a Arab-Zionist, or an Arab-Jewish War, or just more honestly Arab-National-Leftist - Zionist-Leftist War
If I'm going to blame anything on anyone, I'm absolutely going to blame Zionist Progressive Nationalism being adopted internationally. Then I'm going to blame the international community for actually prolonging the conflict to apparently try and keep the Arabs from being completely routed. Then I'm going to blame the Arabs for losing that war so fucking hard.
You have, like, 7 states, backed by other international bodies, going up against what amounts to an insurgent group (thought a large & well funded one), and you still fucking lose a conventional war. Arab armies, bro.
The creation of Israel was the last dying act of the bankrupted British Empire, and the worst mistake it ever made.
