"The partition plan was rejected out of hand by Palestinian Arab leadership and by most of the Arab population.[qt 1][qt 2]Don't you care that the Arabs representing the Palestinians said NO RULE OR TERRITORY FOR Israel.............that they would decide what is best for the 400,000 Jews there as they see fit.............
aka They would never agree to a Jewish Nation there.............EVER.................even today.
"Meeting in Cairo on November and December 1947, the Arab League then adopted a series of resolutions aimed at a military solution to the conflict.
"Britain announced that it would accept the partition plan, but refused to enforce it, arguing it was not accepted by the Arabs. Britain also refused to share the administration of Palestine with the UN Palestine Commission during the transitional period. In September 1947, the British government announced that the Mandate for Palestine would end at midnight on 14 May 1948.[51][52][53]
"Some Jewish organisations also opposed the proposal. Irgun leader Menachem Begin announced: "The partition of the Homeland is illegal. It will never be recognized. The signature by institutions and individuals of the partition agreement is invalid. It will not bind the Jewish people. Jerusalem was and will forever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And for ever."[54] These views were publicly rejected by the majority of the nascent Jewish state.[citati"
Jews like Begin were a lot more honest than the hypocrites ruling in Jerusalem today; they stated publicly they wanted all the land between the River and the sea.
