      Hi Susan, The partition of Palestine in 1947, proposed by UN General Assembly Resolution 181, was indeed a decision made by 33 countries. The plan aimed to establish separate Jewish and Arab states but was met with opposition from Arab leaders and neighboring countries.

    The UN did not consult with the people living in that land - it was a textbook colonial move. I think many of us faced with loss of our homes and land might fight back. The genocide is a separate issue as both then and today, zionists (not all Jews by any means) declared their intent to erase Palestinian identity. Hope that helps.

      @@enlightenmentpodcast as well as British Empire, Ottoman Empire, et satura. The "palestinians" (the same arabs as in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia,...) have never been the owners of any lands. By the way, bringing jews back to their home (to Israel) is the best example of decolonization. When real owners go back to their land. And yes, arabs originally came from Saudi Arabia. They are invaders by default!

      @enlightenmentpodcast Province Palestine was part of the British Empire after WW1. The British could manage this territory even on their own, without asking the United Nations. By the way, the British fully supported the creation of the Jewish state (modern Israel).

    • @enlightenmentpodcast
      @enlightenmentpodcast 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You’re correct that Palestine was under British control after World War I, as part of the British Mandate. The British government supported the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine through the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which expressed their support for the creation of a Jewish state. However, tensions between the Jewish and Arab populations grew over the years, and Britain found it increasingly difficult to manage the situation. By 1947, with rising unrest, Britain decided to withdraw from Palestine and handed the issue to the United Nations. This led to UN Resolution 181, which proposed partitioning Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. While the Jewish leadership accepted the plan, it was rejected by the Arab leadership and neighboring Arab countries. These sources provide more context on the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate, and the UN Partition Plan: 1. Balfour Declaration (1917): The Balfour Declaration was a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, leader of the British Jewish community. It expressed the British government's support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, while ensuring that nothing would be done to prejudice the civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine. However, the declaration was vague and led to conflicting interpretations, especially concerning the rights of the Arab population. 2. British Mandate for Palestine (1920-1948): The British Mandate for Palestine was formalized by the League of Nations in 1922. It granted Britain administrative control over Palestine after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire following World War I. Britain was tasked with preparing the region for self-governance, but tensions between the Jewish and Arab populations escalated during this period, particularly due to Jewish immigration and land acquisition, and Arab opposition to Zionist objectives. 3. UN Resolution 181 (1947): This UN resolution proposed the partition of Palestine into two independent states, one Jewish and one Arab, with Jerusalem as an international city. The plan was accepted by the Jewish leadership but was rejected by the Arab states and Palestinian Arabs, who opposed the idea of partition and the creation of a Jewish state on the land they considered their own.
