The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a resolution adopted on 29 November 1947 by the General Assembly of the U N. Its title was United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 (II) Future Government of Palestine.
The resolution noted Britain's planned termination of the British Mandate for Palestine and recommended the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab, with the Jerusalem-Bethlehem area being under special international protection, administered by the United Nations. The resolution included a highly detailed description of the recommended boundaries for each proposed state
The proposed plan was accepted by the leaders of the Jewish community in Palestine, through the Jewish Agency. However, the plan was rejected by leaders of the Arab community, by their Palestine Arab Higher Committee, who were supported in their rejection by the states of the Arab League.
What happened? The Jews, smartly, jumped on the plan and declared independence while the Palestinians got too busy planning war, 3 of them nonetheless, unsuccessful, to keep the entire area under Arab control.
Why they rejected it? Because they wanted the WHOLE PIE for themselves, the exact same thing they now complain about the Jews. So they do have a history and a noble tradition of saying no.
Isn’t there a saying that 3rd is a charm? Well, not so fast, they were dumb enough to provoke a war in 1967 and another one in 1973, and we already know the results.
And ladies and gentlemen, that is why I feel no pity nor buy the “I am a victim” game by the Palestinians. They have a proven track record of never want to negotiate anything, they want all or nothing, so their current situation or status is well deserved due to their own inability to use COMMON SENSE as they could have accepted the plan of 1947 and have their own state back then. 64 years of futility and repeated pure, undiluted stupidity.
