2) Incompetent Iraqi, Syrian, Egyptian and Lebanese armies and leaderships
3) The USSR through Czecholovakia was willing to sell small arms to Israel (well, the Arab countries bought and even recived much more from the UK, France and the US...)
4) Financial aid from American Jews
5) For the Jews it was literally "do or die".
The UK fought directly against Israel in that war, yet people still claim that """the UK supported Israel"""... they weren't even in favour of the partition plan...
