Thought you knew these quotes, Hawk. Arab nationalism of the 40s and 50s was pan-Arab, there was no "Palestinian" movement back then. Of course, the Mufti would have been glad to grab whatever land he could get, but nobody trusted him or would arm his fighters. So if Israel had lost in 1948, Palestine would have been partitioned between Egypt and Transjordan, maybe with Syria taking a little piece of the North. Transjordan, which had the only decent army -- British trained and British officered -- would have taken the lion's share.
