Currently politicians on both sides of the aisle present the idea of Palestinians having their own state as a new proposal. The fact is this was addressed immediately after World War II. Israelis accepted the idea for them to have their own state and began flooding into the territory to establish their own autonomous government. Palestinians rejected the idea of having their own autonomous state. This disagreement has vacillated back and forth for many, many years. If there is to be any resolution to this long-standing problem, the history of its efforts must invariably be taken into consideration including the reasons that the Palestinians refused to establish their own state.
Hostilities and wars permeated the land between the Jews and the Palestinians. This also included control of the city of Jerusalem and the area known as Gaza. More recently a terrorist group known as Hamas came to the forefront against Israel. To this day they are holding hostages or using them as human shields in the war. Several proposals over the decades have been made, but the Palestinians have declared that the proposals were unfair and offer them only inferior territory land for their state.
This blog is presented to help explain the complex and the biblical presentations regarding the territories. This also explains why after the rapture the situation will be ripe for the antichrist to step forward claiming he has the solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflicts. Here is the early history addressing the creation of two states living side-by-side. I suggest you do your own research to discover further details.
The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine was a proposal by the United Nations to partition Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate. Drafted by the U.N. Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) on 3 September 1947, the Plan was adopted by the UN General Assembly on 29 November 1947 as Resolution 181 (II).[1][2] The resolution recommended the creation of independent but economically linked Arab and Jewish States and an extraterritorial “Special International Regime” for the city of Jerusalem and its surroundings.[3][4]
The Partition Plan, a four-part document attached to the resolution, provided for the termination of the Mandate; the gradual withdrawal of British armed forces by no later than 1 August 1948; and the delineation of boundaries between the two States and Jerusalem at least two months after the withdrawal, but no later than 1 October 1948. The Arab state was to have a territory of 11,592 square kilometres, or 42.88 percent of the Mandate’s territory, and the Jewish state a territory of 15,264 square kilometres, or 56.47 percent; the remaining 0.65 percent or 176 square kilometres—comprising Jerusalem, Bethlehem and the adjoining area—would become an international zone.[5][4][6] The Plan also called for an economic union between the proposed states and for the protection of religious and minority rights.[7]
