RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
BLUF: Oh the Partition Plan was executed, but the Arab League interfered with the process.
The Negev was almost entirely part of the original partition area being allowed for the Jewish State.
The partition plan did not happen. It doesn't matter.
(COMMENT)
The implementation of the Plan did not require the participation of the Arab Palestinian Party. Further, the implementation was made all the more real when the UN Department of Public Information Press and Publications Bureau made available the
official press release (PAL/169 17 May 1948) that said in part:
During today's brief meeting, Dr. Eduardo Morgan (Panama) said that this resolution of the Assembly merely "relieves responsibility. The Commission has not been dissolved. In fact the resolution of last November 29 has been implemented."
Further, the Resolution of 29 November 1947 stated:
Part I said:
F. ADMISSION TO MEMBERSHIP IN THE UNITED NATIONS
When the independence of either the Arab or the Jewish State as envisaged in this plan has become effective and the declaration and undertaking, as envisaged in this plan, have been signed by either of them, sympathetic consideration should be given to its application for admission to membership in the United Nations in accordance with Article 4 of the Charter of the United Nations.
SOURCE:
A/RES/181 (II)
It is customary in matters such as this, that when one party or the other (in this case "either" the Arab or Jewish party) has a grievance, that an appeal or adjudication alternative be afforded air such a grievance. Chapter 4(2), "Any dispute relating to the application or the interpretation of this declaration shall be referred, at the request of either party, to the International Court of Justice, unless the parties agree to another mode of settlement." As is usual with the Arab Palestinian, instead of taking the option of the dispute resolution process, they immediately jump to Armed Conflict.
I've heard you repeat this claim that the recommendation in A/RES/181 (II) had not been executed. Well, I'm here to tell you that it has. There is documentation from official outlets that is has been executed, but no official source outlets denying the UN Palestine Commission stance. And you will notice that almost every single important resolution on the "Question of Palestine" cites A/RES/181 (II) as a reference - openly demonstrates that it still has some relevance.
It is more likely the case that the pro-Arab Palestinians find it important and somewhat necessary to discredit this view.
The odd thing is, that if the Arab Palestinians had accepted the peace and the Allocated Partition portion in the Plan, there would probably be no doubt that the Arab Palestinians would have a state today and sovereign control over a vast majority of the allocation if not all. BUT, they chose conflict. And there is no question as to how well that decision worked out for them.
Most Respectfully,
