And I say that is debatable: The 1947 UN Partition Plan (Resolution 181) proposed detailed borders, allocating roughly 56% of Palestine to a Jewish state and 42% to an Arab state, with Jerusalem internationalized. The Jews fully accepted the plan and created Israel. The Arabs did not accept out of differerent reasons: Why give away land which was ruled by Muslims for more than a Millenia to create a purely Jewish ethno state? Why do the Jews, who were by then about 38% of the population because of the immigration forced upon them by the British get 56% of Palestine, while The Arabs, still the majority gets only 42%? Why was the Balfour Declaration not respected which clearly promised to facilitate a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine and NOT a independent Jewish ethno state, as it paticularly says: "nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities" Why did the British not fulfill their part of the deal which was an independent Arab state in exchange for the Arabs fighting for them against the Ottomans (as can be seen in the famous movie "Laurence of Arabia".) This lead to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war which Israel won and before you knew it, they suddenly had 78% of Palestine. Now it´s more. And getting more by the day as the illegal settlements go on as we write. So yes, the borders were not established, only proposed, yet happily accepted by the Jews and later even more happily expanded until today with the settlers stealing land from it´s legal owners and killing them by the Thousands while labeling anyone criticizing it as an anti-Semite (intentionally conflating it with anti-Zionism) in order to silence him and whining why there is so much anti-Semitism in the world, or in other words: Expecting the world to grant them a lifelong license to kill and steal. And personally for me the worst part: Western leaders and governments, ignoring all their international laws to protect humanity, happily bending over and allowing them to do whatever they want while sanctioning judges from international courts and brutally restricting the basic rights of their own people. That is unbearable.
