While the Jewish Zionist leadership in Mandatory Palestine was willing to undergo partition in 1947 in a way that the Arab leadership was not, there was a significant minority of Jews who opposed partition. They fell into three general camps: (1) Religious Nationalists, (2) Irridentists, (3) Binationalists.
The Religious Nationalists, which have become a much larger segment of the Israeli population in the last few decades, were historically rather small. They were a religious movement that believed that the entire land of Biblical Israel belonged under Jewish sovereignty because God had given the Jewish people the land as eternal inheritance. Therefore, no assemblage of Jews could make a move to partition the land in such a way to violate that inheritance. Since the 1947 partition plan put most of Biblical Israel in Arab hands, not Jewish ones, the Religious Nationalists believed that agreeing to the partition plan was a violation of the Divine Will.
The Irridentists were a secular movement that held that the Jewish history in the Land of Israel was undeniable and correct. Additionally, they noted that the Mandate for Palestine from 1919-1922 contained both Israel/Palestine and Jordan. As a result, they believed that the two state solution for Palestine had already been implemented, i.e. the Arabs already got Jordan. They saw no reason for Jews to make further concessions to Arabs and give up their historic homelands.
The Binationalists were a secular movement that believed in one nation for two peoples and wished to set up a confessionalist-type one-state solution, similar to what prevails today in Lebanon. The Binationalists felt that the partition would lead to strife and conflict which would be unnecessary if the two parties could simply learn to live together.

What is the difference between the migration of the Muslims to Medina and the migration of the Jews to Palestine?
IntroductionThere is not a large difference between the migration of Muslims to Medina and the migration of Jews to Mandatory Palestine. In both cases you had a population of people who were distinguished by belonging to a religious community distinct from the surrounding peoples and were subject to discrimination and death threats from those surrounding peoples.DifferencesHowever, the fundamental difference was that when the Muslims came to Medina, they were actually well-received by the indigenous Medinan tribes. Conversely, when the Jews came to Mandatory Palestine, they were subject to violence from the Arab Settled Muslims or Fellahin. This resulted in conflict from the first moment of entry. Another key difference was that the Jews had a historic presence and special relationship with the lands that comprised Mandatory Palestine. There were Ancient Jewish sites in the land and Jews saw their migration as a return home. Contrarily, when the Muslims came to Medina, they still considered Mecca their true home and spiritual center, exerting all of their energies on conquering Mecca.
