P F Tinmore, et al,
This is a common practice of the Arab Palestinian. They claim "nothing is ever their fault" and they are always the victim.
Whether we are talking about The British Mandatory Government of Palestine (GOP), The United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP) --- or --- The United Nations Palestine Commission (UNPC), you will find that the Arab Palestinians (or the Arab Higher Committee or Arab League) declined, rejected or otherwise obstructed nearly every opportunity for advancement and development.
Yes, as you have often said, the Arab Palestinian has the "right" to reject opportunities as they will. BUT in so exercising that right to reject --- the Arab Palestinian cannot then turn-around and claim that no other organ or activity has has been delinquent in forging any type of settlement.

(COMMENT)OK, that is the job of the UNCCP who has dropped the ball on its responsibilities.
Just like the UNPC dropped the ball in 1948.
That is why there is BDS. Nobody else is doing anything.

In the Spring 1920, in which the Allied Powers at the established the general outline and foundation for the Mandate for Palestine; which incorporated the Balfour Declaration and Article 22 - Covenant of the League of Nation. Britain (as the appointed Mandatory) was charged with reconstituting the "national home for the Jewish people" [Jewish National Home (JNH)] in Palestine.
In the Springs of 1920, and again in 1921, the Arabs instigated anti-Jewish riots; lead by Islamic radical clerics and religious leaders.
With reluctance, the Jewish leadership agreed to conform to the policy set forth in the 1922 Churchill White Paper, relative to the establishment of the JNH. However, the Arabs began to forge a policy of rejection to any form of coexistence with Jewish Immigrants.
Following the 1922 Churchill White Paper, three attempts were made to establish direct Arab representation in the government formed under the Mandate. The Arab population of Palestine could be brought into cooperation with the government through “the establishment of an Arab Agency in Palestine, a counterpart to and analogous to the Jewish Agency. The Arab Agency would have the right to be consulted on all matters relating to immigration, on which it was recognized that “the views of the Arab community were entitled to special consideration”. The Arab leaders (once again) declined. The Arab Palestinians intentionally refused to discuss the Article 6 requirements to facilitate Jewish immigration.
By 1929 Arab Palestine mobs again attacked Jews throughout the territory under the Mandate; reacting to inflammatory rhetoric instigated by the Supreme Moslem Council.
At the same time, the traveling radical muslim teacher Izz ad-Din al-Qassam began to form covert guerrilla cells of 8 to 10 men, independent and unknown by other cells. These cells were anti-Semitic and anti-British Jihadists which came to be known as the Palestinian Black Hand.
The idea of the One-State (Shared Government) dates back to a time before the formulation of the Shaw Commission Report. British Administration Authorities organized a "Round Table" Forum (alla King Arthur) in December 1930 --- which the rejected and boycotted the forum.
Following an extended turbulent period -- The Peel Commission (May 1936) opened a new inquiry into the roots of renewed Arab violence. The Commission's objective was to make such recommendations as necessary to bring about Arab/Jewish coexistence.
In January 1948, the UN Palestine Commission requested the participation of the Arab Palestinian Community in the Steps Preparatory for Independence. Rejected.
There is no question that every party involved in the Question of Palestine made mistakes. But the most obstinate and uncooperative (by far) where the Arabs. As the UN Palestine Commission (UNPC) noted during the Civil War (early 1948):
"Powerful Arab interests, both inside and outside Palestine, are defying the resolution of the General Assembly and are engaged in a deliberate effort to alter by force the settlement envisaged therein."
The Arabs have absolutely no room to talk. When has the Arab Palestinian ever made an effort to establish peace?

The Grand Mufti, representing the Arab Palestinian, under deposition, made three unconditional and non-negotiable demands:
• Complete abandonment of the Balfour Declaration and the NO establishment of a JNH;
• HALT all Jewish immigration and land purchases;
• Termination of the Mandate;
In the Arab National Congress September 1937, rejected the Peel Commission's recommendations.
The Arab League formed an economic boycott (December 1945) of the Jewish goods and services from the territory. in Mandate Palestine. A secondary boycott against foreign firms that traded with Israel.• Complete abandonment of the Balfour Declaration and the NO establishment of a JNH;
