Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt

The Arab armies that had attacked the new state of Israel in May 1948 were soundly defeated. They reluctantly signed temporary "cease-fire" agreements (allowed by Muhammad's example at Hudaybiya in 628): Egypt on February 24, 1049, Lebanon on March 23, Transjordan on April 3, and Syria on July 20. The borders of Israel agreed upon at that time have been known ever since as the "Green Line."

The victory had been costly. Israeli deaths had mounted to 6,373 (2,400 civilians), about 1 percent of her entire population (which would compare to a loss of nearly 3 million Americans today). Estimates of Arab losses vary from 5,000 to 15,000—about 1/40th of 1 percent.

On October 11, 1949, Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Muhammad Saleh el-Din, declared that "the Arabs intend that they [refugees] shall return as masters....More explicitly: they intend to annihilate the state of Israel....The Arab people will not embarrassed to declare: 'We shall not be satisfied except by the final obliteration of Israel'" ("Al-Misri," October 11, 1949). Even Nazi Germany didn't intend to "obliterate" France or England—but this is what the Muslims intend for Israel. And the world blames Israel for not making peace with such enemies!
