If you are talking about ALL of Palestine, yes. But Palestine was larger than just the area that would be state of Israel. In the area that would become Israel, the number of Arabs was lower. Palestine was a region than just area that would become Israel. In that area, the numbers of Arabs are closer to the number I gave.
I would also add that your UN document shows a healthy increase in Arab population from over 486,000 in 1922 to over 1 Million by 1946. Yet you maintain that the Jews during this same period were committing genocide on the Arab population. Even the documents you provide debunk that claim that you continue make over and over. It is possible to have a population increase like that if your population is the victim of genocide. Genocide lowers populations; it doesn't make them grow.
What that chart shows is that the land was considered Palestinian land, but land that was part of the British mandate to distributed to each group.
It is important to remember that when Britain was given the mandate to make Palestine a Jewish homeland by the League of Nations, "Palestine" was a huge area owned by the Turks until after WW1. It included the country we now call Jordan. Jordan was created when the British gave 3/4 of the Mandate to the Arabs and they created Trans-Jordan and gave the remaining 25% to the Jews. That 25% was then "Palestine." That last remaining area was divided up by the UN to be a Jewish state and yet another Arab state.
Wrong. It was not unilateral. The UN passed resolution 181 and the state of Israel was recognized by the world community, except for the Arab nations who voted against it. It was the 2nd time that the Arabs rejected a two-state solution.
And the Arabs rejected it. They stopped the creation of an Arab nation called Palestine.
The Arabs have every excuse they can think of to reject the two state solution. The truth is that they oppose the existence of Israel. If Israel had been given only 1% of the land, they would have still opposed it. It has nothing to do with the 55% vs. 45% ratio. It would not have mattered what the ratio was.
Do you also understand why 700,000 Arabs had to be kicked out of Palestine to never be admitted back after the war?
SNIP
UN made resolution 181 which was a recommendation that had to be accepted by both Jews and Arabs.
Zionists on May UNILATERALLY declared the state of Israel 5 months later.
Besides, the partition proposal would have Jerusalem remain a separate entity administered by the UN. You know too well that is not the case. So stop pretending that Israel is a legitimate state. It's not.
I know you have never seen the proposed boundaries of the partition plan so I shared the map. Does it look like Israel honored the Resolution 181?
