What is called in Israel the War of Independence and outside the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, wasn't a revolution. The Jews in Palestine had their own territory and governance distinct from the Arabs for decades. So I think it was more a case of expanding and consolidating what they already had.
The point I was making further in my post was this kind of retort is impossible to avoid for nearly any situation. There’s always going to be an argument that what happened was this kind of thing not that kind of thing, and because change in governance is so messy, everybody usually has a valid point to some degree, regardless of what it is. It’s impossible to have clean cut examples, especially of “success” because someone innocent always loses something.
