How did they think this was going to work in 1947?

Why did there need to be two separate states.
Why not just one state that included both Arabs and Jews?

>>17809108
Not enough support on either side for it. It's a sort of tragic conflict where both sides think they deserve to have all of it and that the other side wants to wipe them out, which makes compromise impossible outside of short-term tactical maneuvers.

>Imperialist USA and USSR
>only gained 44% of the land
Majority native Arabs disagree

>>17809191
I'm just saying that was what the ideal was

>>17809108
They did that.
It caused a civil war.
By splitting Palestine, it was supposed to prevent war.

They could also have tried a plan where there wasn't a transfer of land from Arab Muslims to Jews, and without a significant population of Arab Muslims under Jewish rule. All such plans were rejected by the Jewish authorities.

Because picrel "worked" about 20 years prior.

Remember, the British Governor of Jerusalem said that Israel could be

Haifa, Acre and Naza can be Christian free city

Was there any way to avoid a tragedy or conflict. It seems like every possible solution or timelines would've faced the Palestine issue at some point, whether the British held onto or just let the Turks keep it
