Elroy, I think you are making a mistake by giving the UN's Yes vote more weight than the No vote of every neighbor of Israel's at the time.

I'm sure by today's standards, the formation of Israel would be considered nuts. But it was a different world back in 1948. Borders were being drawn all over the place for various reasons. Take a look at Korea's 38th parallel, for instance. No one put that to a vote. (And why wasn't Japan divided up instead, considering Japan was the real aggressor back in WWII?)
