What were the perspectives of a Palestinian Arab and a Zionist Jew regarding the United Nations Partition Plan of 1947?

Both were frustrated with it.
The Palestinian Arab believed (and many still do) that all of the land belonged to them and being forced to share it with an invader from outside of the country would be ridiculous. The UN Partition Plan in particular accorded the Jewish State much more land than the Jews controlled at that time and was seen as catering to their interests. In fact, the Jewish State was 56% of the overall land. The Arabs completely rejected the plan.
The Zionists were bothered because they saw the resulting Jewish State as too small to accommodate the Jewish population and as being far too difficult to keep united. In addition, most of the Jewish holy sites, including Jerusalem, Hebron, Shchem, and the Cave of Machpelah were deep inside the territory of the proposed Arab State. However, the Zionists were willing to accept the Partition Plan if it meant that they could have a State at all.
