An important comment which may have gone unnoticed

I found this comment made by yasmin in response to a question about the partition.. This is extraordinary because it challenges,convincingly I should add, the most common version of how Israel came to be..

"First, Israel wasn't created through "partition." this may surprise some people. The Security Council and the British refused to enforce the plan. The US - finally realizing the plan was probably illegal and clearly unjust - proposed a UN trusteeship, which was a plan for one state of Palestine and provided that Arabs and Jews would decide on their government by referendum, and that future immigration would not be based on race or religion. In short, the trusteeship was designed to protect the right to self-determination of both peoples. But it was too late - the the trusteeship was never voted on, the Zionist militias took over and conquered more of the land than in the plan, and drove Palestinians out of their homes through massacres, created 750,000 refugees, and in effect establishment their own version of partition. which went beyond the partition plan."
