Imagine if the British had done what they pledged to do.

Imagine if after a time they even officially partitioned the mandate territory and even if it ended that the Arabs receiving two thirds.

It would have created de facto and de jure the two States the World so purportedly hungers for.

Of course, the Arabs would have still attempted to destroy Israel so maybe it would make no difference after all.

HearMe, I read a posted article here in FR in recent days (and failed to bookmark it) that claimed that the ORIGINAL BRITISH PLAN involved Jordan being THE “Palestinian State” but that Churchill himself stabbed the Palestinians (as well as the Israelis) in the back by giving Jordan to the “Hashemite Kings” at the last minute.

What do you know about that?
