By the way UN is the one who partitioned it in the first place. Yeah, I'm aware of that. But at that time (about 1947/8) the UN had only been for 2-3 years, and in the vote to create the new countries all the neighboring and ME countries voted "No" to the formation of Israel. I think Bolivia in South America voted "yes" in favor of the new Jewish homeland (which was not in their backyard). How significant is it that a brand new world body voted to impose new country in a location where all the neighboring population didn't want it. I would say the votes of the surrounding population in the region affected should have been given much more significance than the votes of people who live in Iceland, Australia and Canada. It's the same as if the UN in 1947 voted that Maryland should be not part of the US and instead should become a new communist homeland. The US would never have accepted it.
