There was never a US partitioning... I'm going to take a stab and guess you mean the way the UN divided things...(mostly a UK concern) which caused the arabs to say "No" and then invade Israel along with a bunch of allies... lose and sign an arminstice which is now considered the 1967 boredrs. Which neither the Palestinians or Israelis really agree on because well... arminstices aren't actually legal agreements of borders. Those happen in ceasefires. So Palestine still thinks things should go by the UN resolution that they rejected(Outside Hamas anyway which is even more extreme) while Israel believes that the borders are still undefined as such a thing can only be negotiated during the ceasefire, and no official borders have ever been drawn up and agreed on. I don't know how one couldn't logically agree with the Israelis on this point. Emotionally you could make arguements, but by the letter of the law... by not agreeing to the partitioning, there are no defined borders. Had the west NOT intervened. Those areas would still be under Ottoman control. Since they only came under control by accepting western help by revolting agaisnt the Ottomans... in promise that they would be free of the Ottomans. Worked out for basically everywhere but Palestine because the british promised it to both. Hence the need for a split. |
I TOTALLY meant the UN, I guess it was too early in the morning/late at night and typed an S instead of an N, or a freudian slip. Sorry. In my following post I did refer it correctly to the UN.
As for who it originally belongs to, whoever had the land before the Ottomans, should get it back afterwards. Maybe I am wrong, but I remember that with the exception of a few cities and areas here and there, the area was predominantly muslim, not jewish. Which is where the British really fucked things up. As I mentioned a bit later, the biggest idiots in this whole conflict is the west.
