No.....Not at all. There was a struggle with the UK, but not a war. The Brits decided the whole thing is out of hand and let the UN decide about. The UN decided on a partition to 2 states. The Jews agreed the Arabs did not. An internal war errupted 1947(after the UNs decision), between the local Arabs(Palestinians) and Jews(soon to be Israelis)....On 14 May 1948 Israel declared independece. The next day the neighboring arab nations invaded. the war raged till the summer of 1949.
