| How do you define war? Do seiges and constant attacks on villiages | |
| count as acts of war, or is that only when the Jews do them? | |
| January, 1948: Arab Liberation Army attacks Kfar Szold | |
| 1000 men attack Kfar Etzion, 14 miles south of Jerusalem, | |
| after cutting off the supply lines to it. | |
| Attacks on Yehiam (Western Galilee) and kibbutz Tirat Tzvi. | |
| By Mid-March, The Jewish settlements in the Negev had been cut off from | |
| land links with the rest of the Jewish population. | |
| The Etzion group of villiages, near Hebron, had been cut off, | |
| while 42 members of a convoy trying to supply Yehiam were | |
| slaughtered, cutting off the villiage. | |
| Jerusalem was under seige, being cut off from its supply route from | |
| Tel Aviv (the bombed out supply trucks have been left on the side | |
| of that road to this day in memoriam). By this time, 1200 Jews | |
| had been killed. | |
| Of course, this isn't war, since it's only the Arabs attacking. | |
| Just like last week when the Fatah launched Katyusha rockets | |
| against Northern israel. Where does uprising end and war begin? | |
| Will it still be 'Intifadah' when the PLO brings in tanks? | |
