On November 29, 1947, the United Nations approved a plan to separate the British Mandate territory of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. As part of this plan, Jerusalem would have been under international control.
United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine or United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 was not successful in creating two states; the Arab world strongly rejected it, and fighting between Jews and Arabs began almost immediately after the resolution’s passage. However, the borders it laid out have been critical to subsequent negotiations.

Did not know this...thought it was a done deal, mostly because modern Jordan was created then.
Thanks.
Because the kWHOREan tells them everyone has to become one of them or be MURDERED !!!
their so called religion is not, it’s a guide to take over the World.
By what right was this land given to the “United Nations” for division in the first place?
it’s important to remember that 1947 was not the start of the conflict. There were massacres as early as 1920 and it was the WWI decisions that really got the ball rolling. Originally the British were just trying to preoccupy the Ottoman Empire with the Arab territories so they wouldn’t be so involved in the European theatre.
This is the history that is conveniently forgotten. Even farther back is the history of the Palestine Mandate. Wikipedia has a good explanation under “History of Jordan”.
And the phrase “Never again!” apparently doesn’t mean “never” “never”. It was only 80 years ago folks. 80 ain’t much time.

Read the article.
The role John Derek had was not large, but it demonstrated the practically and emotionally wrenching, profound abyss forced on otherwise peace-minded Arabs. And-it was some excellent acting.
I guess it's remarkable because I'm old enough to recall that good films, by definition, showcased actors with real talent.
“By what right was this land given to the “United Nations” for division in the first place?”
Perhaps the right of conquest.
Transjordan was separated from the rest of the Palestine Mandate already in 1922.
