The State of Israel was actually created through a quick war in which the Arabs
were severely defeated. The incident of Deir Yassin where the village was "massacarred" (Sic) ended up with an exodus of Palestinian refugees from the Holy Land.
The Haganah, the major Jewish terrorist organisation became the government of the new state of Israel which was established in 1948 with David Ben-Gurion as Prime Minister

What were the reasons behind the Arab's defeat in the 1948 War?

The war was only fought *after* the State of Israel was created, the creation being the pretext for war.

Weren't prepared
During the truces which the UN carried out (two or three in all) Israel purchased armaments from the Soviets - this also led to intense dislike of the Soviets by most Arab countries

Q; What were the main contributions of the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organisation) from 1964 - 1996?

The PLO is comprised of several palestinian terrorist groups the primary one being the Fatah organisation.
In late 1966 the PLO (located in East Jerusalem) began to assume authority over the Palestinians.
With the defeat of the Arab nations in the 1967 war and the occupation of Jordanian, Egyptian, and Syrian territories with large palestinian populations, this lead to an increase in Palestinian nationalism and militarism
A result of the 67 war was the rise of Yasser Arafat to the leadership of the PLO in 1969
One point to remember that the PLO consisted of both Islamic and Christian Palestinians - it was more of a nationalistic movement than a religious movement.
Under Arafat's leadership, the palestinian groups were much more aggressive against israel.
This lead to the Black September attack by King Hussein and the Munich Massacre.
The PLO also during this time began to create a political infrastructure for a state of Palestine - in particular in areas such as health care and education.
The PLO was recongised as the representatives of the Palestinian people in 1974 which brought them into the diplomatic light - they had to now negotiate directly with Israel

Sorry but i gotta run ill finish this later in another post
