I'm saying the entire population of Mandate Palestine was entitled to self-determination in 1948.TO GeorgePhillips, are you saying that the Palestinians should be rewarded for refusing to UN's partition plan and declare ( in 1947) Jihad to eradicate the non-Arab/non-Muslim people in the land?
One Palestinian; one vote.
The likely outcome would have been a Semitic Union dedicated to Semitic control of Semitic oil.
Not exactly what the US and UK had in mind at that time.
