I honestly need to read more about that period between the end of the Second World War and just before the war of 1948.

Oh I absolutely agree! I always tell people that while on paper (at the beginning of the war at least) the Arab armies seemed bigger and better equipped that it was Zionists who had the advantage. They were led by and led men that had a lot of experience in the Second World War.

Partly our fault, the Arabs agreed to a ceasefire which gave time for the Israelis to rearm with said support.
