Wow, one day, that's about as long as a century. The U.N. vote was very legitimate. Every country on Earth voted either for or against it, and the majority ruled. In any case, instead of arguing ancient history, we should be planning how to make peace in the here and now.
I just told you what would make peace right now...
The only thing that will make the entire Palestinian collective happy is for Israel to dissolve itself as a state and for most of the Jews to evacuate and for virtually all the land to belong to and to be under the control of Palestinian Muslim-Arabas.
...BTW, the UN vote had issues they wanted to resolve, that's why they asked Zionists to wait...
Indeed.
...But the Zionists didn't do that, did they? Why?...
Because...
1. the Jews and Arabs had already been at each others' throats for several decades
2. because the British were the only thing that stood between the Jews and being overrun and slaughtered by the Arabs of the region
3. because the Arabs would have seized political control over all the land of Old Palestine, leaving the Jews with nothing, if they had been stupid enough to wait for the UN
...Because those 'issues' they wanted to resolve, had to do with the Palestinian problem.
4. Indeed - because to 'wait' was the equivalent of 'doing nothing', and because 'doing nothing' would result in the Jews being overrun before the UN could come to the rescue
----------------------
Timing is half of what is needed at a time like that, especially when the people telling you to wait are not stakeholders, and when you know that in the Real World, waiting was the equivalent of conceding that the promises of Balfour, the League and the UN, would never be realized, because the Arabs would have seized it all in a matter of days, and that the UN would concede the fait accompli without lifting a finger to reverse that fait accompli to an extent sufficient to provide the Jews with their piece of Old Palestine.
Courage is the other half of what is needed at a time like that; the courage to seize their share when it became clear that the promisors were equivocating, the courage to stand and hold against all comers, and the courage to ignore the hypocritical cat-calls from promisors who were on the verge of welching on their promises and who became angry that their true intentions were unmasked and circumvented by such a pipsqueak collection of desperate daredevils.
