Who is the Victim and Who the Victimizer?

Many people regard the Palestinian Arabs as victims of the State of Israel. However, is that really true? After all, who invaded whom in 1948 at the end of the British mandate? The United Nations partitioned the Land of Israel/Palestine into enclaves for Jews and Arabs. The Jews declared the State of Israel in their enclaves. At the time, Israel (the Palestinian Jewish community) was willing to accept the U.N. partition because it was vulnerable. The Palestinian Arab community did nothing to create a state of their own. The surrounding Arab states invaded Israel/Palestine resulting in the emigration of most of the Palestinian Arabs in the wake of the Arab invasion. At the end of the war, from 1948 to 1967, Jordan annexed the West Bank and Egypt annexed the Gaza Strip. Neither country declared or encouraged the creation of a Palestinian state in those territories during those 19 years. The Palestinian Arabs themselves said and did nothing to separate themselves from Jordan and Egypt. It was not until after the 1967 war when they found themselves under Israeli rule that they suddenly became Palestinians who wanted their own country (which even then included all of Israel). Had the Arab and Jewish communities of Israel/Palestine cooperated in the time preceding the  British withdrawal to create 2 independant states according to the U.N. partition plan which could have allowed access by religious people on both sides to their respective shrines as tourists, they might have been able to prevent the invasion by the surrounding Arab states. Israel would have gone along with that, but the Palestinian Arabs did not and instead abandoned their sovereignty.
