Retired Industrial Engineer and Production Manager in IsraelSat

Is it true that Palestinians were awarded their own country by the
United Nations in 1947 but they rejected it?
UNGA Resolution 181 for the Partition of Palestine into a “Jewish state”
and an “Arab state” was a proposal, not a binding order.

As in the past (1937 Peel Commission, 1939 Woodhead commission and 1945
Anglo-American Committee), the Arabs of Palestine rejected any and all
recommendations for partition.

This is simply historical fact.

The Arabs in Palestine were OFFERED a state, alongside a Jewish state.
They turned it down, so it was never created.

As a side note, at the time, “Palestinian” meant anyone in the region,
including Jews. In fact, “Palestinian” was used as a synonym in some
documents for “Jew”, and Arabs called “Arab Palestinians”. Not until
Arafat, two decades later, would the word take on its present meaning.
