Israel didn't start with tanks, they managed to build the 3 Sherman's after the war started from scrap heaps found at British ordnance yards. The first tanks Israel had was 2 Cromwell, which was liberated from the British forces during their withdrawal with help from sympathetic British soldiers.

The Israeli was in a life and death situation, they had everything to lose in defeat. The motivation of both army was different.

I spent several weeks in Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the West Bank, and Egypt back in 2018. One thing that was amazing to me is how small this whole area is. The area covered in this video is barely the size of New Jersey. For a Texan like me, learning that the distance from Amman to Jerusalem is the same as Austin to San Antonio, or that Beirut is closer to Tel Aviv than Austin is to Waco, is really incredible. I pray that within my lifetime I can take a drive between those cities with something approaching the ease I do within my own state.

Arabs: We are going to finish you. Israelis: Our country map is very chaotic, let us make it a bit better and make the lines straight.
@almVancouver
It's hard to imagine the Jews were attacked on so many fronts and without air superiority to start. Now looking at Israel today and it's not hard to see this is one country that will never go down without a complete fight from all citizens. Simply astounding how they managed to get to this point!

Fun fact: The Avia S-199 was a Bf-109 airframe with the engine and propeller from a Heinkel He-111.
@Isildun9
Interesting fact: most of the weapons that Czechoslovakia (I apologize if I spelled that wrong) sent to the Israelis were, in fact, surplus weapons that had been manufactured for the Wermacht in WW2. As such many, if not all of them, had improperly calibrated or sabotaged sights, which the Czechs had intended to mess with the Germans, but they forgot to inform the IDF about it until after the weapons had been shipped, issued and the Israelis had found out about the messed up sights. Still, it must have struck several of the Jews as ironic that they were now using Czech Vz. 24s, Kar98ks and other weapons made for the Nazis, to defend themselves, along with a smattering of American, British, Russian and even homemade weapons.

The comments section is more peaceful than the middle east right now.

Arab league: “We have you 7 to 1” Israel: “I like those odds”
@gideon9096
Fun fact: When one of the Messerschmidts was shot down, the american pilot (who couldn't speak hebrew) found himself between the fronts. It was dusk and and his only hope were some Kibbutzniks who didn't even know that Israel had an air force. Afraid that they would shoot at him, thinking he would be an arab pilot, if he approached them, he ran in their direction screaming "gefillte fisch!" (a traditional Jewish meal) Edit: Also he was Pee Wee Hermans dad

I am not gonna lie, I do think this map is a bit chaotic, which is a shame. I personally prefer the style used in your ''Six-Day war'' video. Nice informative video, though.
@williamsouth1847
There are so many comments about the comment section, that no actual comment section can be seen.
@MBEG89
So from what ive gathered, the only reason the nakba happened is because the arabs attacked the israeli state upon creation, thus displacing most of their population due to their own loss. This is a major point because the narrative is often spun the other way around, but in reality the overwhelming majority of the arabs would have become israeli citizens, and even now we see that arab muslims are 20 percent of israeli citizens.
@SamonMarquis
Why bother listen to Historians, when the "real" experts can be found in a comments section?
@asdsdjfasdjxajiosdqw8791
While the 3D animation is good, I still would prefer a more professional style map view. I am not quite sure where all the fronts are supposed to be in these. If the map instead showed NATO style icons and attack arrows (sort of like hearts of iron with NATO icons on), I think it would make it much clearer.
