The War on Democracy

At least this time you were close?

On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day.

Reading comprehension once again?
PROPOSED - I assumed we all knew what the word proposed means.
It did take a year for the process to complete.
Let me reprint my post for you Duck...
WWII...created after WWII by the United Nations - 1947
The United Nations proposed separate Palestinian & Jewish states.
The Palestinians declined, the Jews having just been through the halocaust, accepted.

From wikipoo...
On 15 May 1947, the General Assembly of the newly formed United Nations resolved that the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine be created "to prepare for consideration at the next regular session of the Assembly a report on the question of Palestine."[150] In the Report of the Committee dated 3 September 1947 to the General Assembly,[151] the majority of the Committee in Chapter VI proposed a plan to replace the British Mandate with "an independent Arab State, an independent Jewish State, and the City of Jerusalem ... the last to be under an International Trusteeship System."[152] On 29 November 1947, the General Assembly adopted Resolution 181 (II) recommending the adoption and implementation of the Plan of Partition with Economic Union.[29] The plan attached to the resolution was essentially that proposed by the majority of the Committee in the report of 3 September. The Jewish Agency, which was the recognized representative of the Jewish community, accepted the plan.[31][32] The Arab League and Arab Higher Committee of Palestine rejected it, and indicated that they would reject any other plan of partition.[30][153] On the following day, 1 December 1947, the Arab Higher Committee proclaimed a three-day strike, and Arab gangs began attacking Jewish targets.[154] The Jews were initially on the defensive as civil war broke out, but in early April 1948 moved onto the offensive.[155][156] The Arab Palestinian economy collapsed and 250,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were expelled.[157]

Why would Palestine accept a deal that partitions their country (that they have lived in for over a thousand years) and gives them the equivalent of a county. The holocaust was one of the biggest tragedies in history but seizing the country of Palestine was a tragedy too.

Apparently the United Nations deemed the partition to be fair.
I can understand the feelings of the Palestinians, probably similar to what Native Americans felt when their land was taken away by the US government.
Given the recent history of the area, considering that Israel has won all major conflicts since the forming of the country & the fact that Egypt (Gaza) & Jordan (West Bank) have signed peace agreements with Israel. Perhaps it's time the Palestinians rethink their stand regarding the peace process.

Why would the Palestinians agree to give away control of half of their country to an immigrant minority?

They didn't.
As soon as the Israeli's declared independence, the Palestinians, Egyptians, & Jordanians attacked Israel & fought the 1948 Arab - Israeli War.
As I stated above, Israel has won all the major battles since and has signed peace agreements with Egypt & Jordan.
Perhaps it's time for the Palestinians to do the same...?

I was referring to what you said -- "The Palestinians declined".
 
Modern Humans Came Out of Africa, "Definitive" Study Says
James Owen

July 18, 2007

We are solely children of Africa—with no Neandertals or island-dwelling "hobbits" in our family tree, according to a new study.

Scientists who compared the skulls and DNA of human remains from around the world say their results point to modern humans (Homo sapiens) having a single origin in Africa.

The study didn't find any evidence to suggest that human species living elsewhere in the world contributed to our direct ancestors' make-up.

A team led by Andrea Manica at the University of Cambridge, England, combined analysis of global genetic variations with comparisons of more than 6,000 skulls from more than a hundred ancient human populations.

The team found that loss of genetic diversity was very closely mirrored by reduced physical variation the farther away people lived from Africa. (Explore our human roots.)

The people You call ( Palestinians ) are of Arab decent
and have no country to barter with....No official Country
of Palestine ever existed...The name is Roman in origin and
the British supported an " Area " called Palestine in the 1900's
til 1930's or so...nothing more.
The present Jewish people residing in Israel are the
rightful occupants of the land their ancestors once inhabited
for ages.....and were forced from numerous times through out
History.....
After WWII they were given their rightful land/area back....

Magoo..you seem confused. I didn't lose anything.
I'll try to help, have you taken your meds? How much wine have you consumed today?
Take notes if need be...the Palestinians are the losers, they are the ones who have had their asses handed to them time & time again.
The Jordanians and the Egyptians made peace with Israel.
The Palestinians should do the same.

I'm not buying the " One " source development premise...
Too many diverse aspects of Humans goes way back past the
3 - 400,000 year + data....

I suspect several distinct groups developed independent of
each other .....There's just no other way to describe having
so many diverse intellectual groups of Humans on this planet...
Most of the ancestral traits are based on the " One " source premise.
The last two or so years discoveries has cast serious doubt on those
previous " One " source origins....

Furthermore, who's to say any of us are native of this planet.....
No ones rewound time to observe the true origins of Humans
on this planet....
The possibilities of life forms just like us are endless in the Cosmos.

Just my Opinion.....
