This is addressing the political wrangling. It doesn't address the threat presented by the Hostile Arab Palestinians.

āā P F Tinmore, et al,
ā§ Declassified A/AC.21/10 16 February 1948⢠The Arabs of Palestine will never recognise the validity of the extorted partition recommendations or the authority of the United Nations to make them.⢠The Arabs of Palestine consider that any attempt by the Jews or any power group of powers to establish a Jewish state in Arab territory is an act of aggression which will be resisted in self-defense.⢠The Arabs of Palestine made a solemn declaration before the United Nations, before God and history, that they will never submit or yield to any power going to Palestine to enforce partition. The only way to establish partition is first to wipe them out ā man, woman and child.

What part of this do you disagree with? It merely asserts the Palestinian's rights particularly the right to territorial integrity.
(c) General Carlos P. Romulo, Head of the Philippines delegation, on Wednesday made a very strong and courageous speech denouncing partition declaring: āAt the behest of my Government, the Philippine Republic regrets its inability to approve of or participate in a solution of the Palestine problem that would involve the encouragement of political disunion and the enforcement of measures that would amount to the territorial mutilation of the Holy Land.āBut on Saturday and in the absence of General Romulo there were two Philippines Delegates, each claiming different instructions ā one to vote against partition as instructed by the head of his delegation, the other supporting partition according to fresh instructions from his Government. It is an established fact that strong pressure was put on the Philippines Government by the United States Government and, according to reliable information, the United States Government threatened the Philippines Government that it will not grant it the loan it is asking for if its delegation fails to support partition. In this way the Arabs lost the Philippines vote.
This speaks for itself.
This is addressing the political wrangling. It doesn't address the threat presented by the Hostile Arab Palestinians.
