After what war was israel given to the Jews?

Answer 1

Answer 1

UN doesn't interrupt between the partition of state. It leaves this upon those people. This is called " self determination of people". But this time Under considerable Zionist pressure, the UN recommended giving away 55% of Palestine to a Jewish state - despite the fact that this group represented only about 30% of the total population, and owned under 7% of the land.

Answer 2

The answer that the person is looking for is the "United Nations". However, this is not historically correct.

The phrasing of the question misconstrues the authority of the United Nations Resolution 181. Most people incorrectly believe that the UN Resolution "created" a Jewish State (Israel) and an Arab State (Palestine) on the map. This is not the case. What the UN Resolution does provide for is the permission for the different ethno-religious groups in Mandatory Palestine to declare a state. In the case of most mandates, the understanding was that the mandate would eventually become independent as one new state, like Iraq or Syria had. The case of a Palestine was therefore unique and needed the permission to deviate from the traditional path of independence. Because of their being two states, provisional borders had to be provided, which is why a map was used, but those borders would only come into play if both sides decided to remain at peace.

The Jews acted on the permission granted to them by UN Resolution 181 by declaring independence on May 14, 1948 (nearly six months after the Resolution was passed) and therefore creating the State of Israel.

Answer 1 neglects to mention the immense amount of Arab pressure in the United Nations directly opposed to any Jewish State and the statements that they would not abide by any decision that they would not like. Arabs applied just as much pressure as the Zionists did. Both the Soviet Union and the United States found the Zionist arguments more convincing. Additionally, just because the Jews only owned 7% of the land, it does not mean that the Arabs owned the 93%. The overwhelming majority of the territory was either: Owned by nobody (huge swathes of the Negev Desert had no ownership), Owned by Ottoman/Turkish Lords, or Owned by the British Mandatory Authority. Arabs owned roughly 10-15% of the Mandatory Territory.

Answer 2

The British set aside a portion of the broken Ottoman Empire in 1917 to be a state for the Jewish people. The state did not become official until November 29,1947 where the UN voted for there to be two states. The Israelis took their state and declared Independence on May 14,1948 while the Palestinians did not take theirs .
