Arabs rejected partition because Jews only owned 6% of the land- one of the most repeated slogans and lies online. Here is what it leaves out.
Yes, Jews privately owned roughly 6 to 8% of the land by 1947.
But Arabs did not own the other 92%.
That's the part that activists conveniently skip. Was the largest category of land was: state land. Not “Palestinian owned land”,
Actual British mandate breakdown ( 1945- 1947 ):
Arab private ownership approximately 47% Jewish ownership approximately 6 to 8% state slash crown land approximately 40 to 45%
Mostly:
· Negev desert
· Uncultivated land next slide government land
The map spammed on Instagram pretending green equals privately Palestinian owned land is historically false.
Now here's the part that breaks the slogan completely: next slide the proposed Jewish state received approximately 56% of the territory.
Sounds shocking...
... Until you realize most of it was empty desert.
The Negev alone made-up a huge chunk of the allocation:
· Sparsely populated
· Underdeveloped
· Mostly state owned land
People talk about it like Tel Aviv was handed millions of acres of Arab farmland
It wasn't.
Even inside the proposed Jewish state, most of the land was:
· State land
· Desert
· Or land already legally purchased by jews
Privately owned Arab land inside the proposed Jewish state is estimated at roughly 15 to 20% of that territory.
Not “they stole 94% of Palestinian land that”
That's propaganda
Not history
And here's the uncomfortable question nobody wants to answer, if the issue really was “fairness”...
Why reject:
· Two states?
· International borders?
· UN recognition?
· Negotiation?
· Why launch a war instead?
Because many Arab leaders openly said the real issue was not borders. It was the existence of any Jewish state at all.
Ownership slogan survives because most people never look past the meme. But history is stubborn. The partition plan did not hand Jews:
· Most privately owned Arab farmland
· 92% of Palestinian land
· A fully developed Arab country
The partition plan mostly allocated:
· State land
· Desert
· And territory for a second state alongside an Arab one
The tragedy is not that partition existed tragedy is that it was rejected. #StopTheLies #Antisemitism #Israel #FactsMatter #StandWithIsrael #DoubleStandards #Hypocrisy
Why does a UN agency the world calls "humanitarian" keep producing Hamas company commanders disguised as schoolteachers?
A US federal probe just flagged 101 more UNRWA staff as October 7 participants tied to Hamas's military wing. School principals. Math teachers. Psychosocial counselors. A sniper. A man tasked with moving anti-tank missiles on the morning of the massacre.
If a "deputy school principal" is also a deputy company commander in the al-Qassam Brigades, who exactly was teaching the children, and what were they teaching them?
How does an organization claim it cannot possibly vet its own staff for terror ties, while Hamas somehow has no trouble identifying which of those same staff to embed as platoon commanders and squad leaders?
At what point does "isolated individuals" stop being a credible defense? 108 already blacklisted, 101 more referred, an investigation spanning 1,500 suspected staffers. What's the number that finally changes your mind, 5,000? 10,000? Is there one?
Why have UN agencies reportedly stonewalled the investigators rather than open their files?
Why did it take a US inspector general, not the UN's own internal oversight, to surface this? What does it say that the institution tasked with "relief" had to be investigated by an outside government to learn who was on its payroll?
The donor governments that funded UNRWA for decades, the journalists who cited its casualty figures as gospel: do any of them owe the public an explanation now?
If these are the people running the schools, what is being built inside the next generation of Gaza's children, and who decided that was acceptable to fund?

@Bonsai133@TheBackBencherm@RickyTheGuido What do yo think the Islamic empire did? They went all the way to Andalusia. Constantinople was cleansed of Christians.
@RitaMimma@CptAllenHistory@grok Look up the Green Prince, and see what he has to say. His father was a founder of Hamas. Gaza was run by a kleptocracy brainwashing generations for future failure. Their society is dysfunctional.
You have no idea of what is going on there. Israel gave them Gaza in 2005. They pulled out Jews who lived there for generations and removed graveyards to prevent desecration. The first thing they did was burn down all of the greenhouses and loot everything that they could. Go back to school.
@RitaMimma@CptAllenHistory@grok No one needs to insult your intelligence. Your posts of Jews being violent without proper context of why they are at war pretty much illustrates your lack thereof.
@Bonsai133@TheBackBencherm@RickyTheGuido Screw worms primarily are an infestation from South and Central America warmer regions. They have come up as far as Texas, and will be eradicated like the infestation that came in the 60s. Modern countries develop remedies to contain these types of threats.
This is what millions of people across the West march for, cheer for, and stand with.
“They did it with glee. They were deeply proud of what they did”.
Never forget.
Never forgive.

@Bonsai133@TheBackBencherm@RickyTheGuido They are keeping you in the dark on some things. Just about all politicians in both of our countries have skeletons in their closets. Still, the third worlders flock to the US and UK to better lives, and inevitably receate their own societal problems in the host nations.
Since 2015 the Liberals have been toxic for First Nations.
They promised to fix the water. It’s 2026 and dozens of communities are still boiling it.
They said they’d release all the residential school records so the truth could come out. Instead they withheld documents that could have helped convict some of the worst offenders. Then they lied and said they gave everything over.
They promised they’d never fight our children in court again. The Human Rights Tribunal ruled they were discriminating against First Nations kids… and they kept doing it anyway.
This is how they operate, they gaslight First Nations while gaslighting the rest of Canada at the same time. That’s a big reason why we’re so divided right now.

Yes. There has been a continuous Jewish presence in the Land of Israel since ancient times, with exiles returning over the centuries well before the 1800s. After the Roman period, communities endured in Jerusalem, Safed, Hebron and Tiberias. Significant Sephardic immigration followed the 1492 expulsion from Spain, strengthening those centers under Ottoman rule. Later medieval and early modern returns added to this pattern. The organized Zionist Aliyah waves began in the 1880s, building on longstanding historical roots.
You of full of mier...
British policy, shaped by Arab opposition, severely restricted Jewish entry via the 1939 White Paper just as Nazi persecution intensified. Prominent Palestinian Arab leader Haj Amin al-Husseini actively collaborated with the Nazis to prevent Jewish refugees from reaching Palestine.
The "welcome then betrayal" story is a modern myth that erases decades of documented conflict and opposition.
No.
Jewish immigration to Palestine began in the 1880s with early Zionist settlement, long before the Holocaust. There was no Palestinian government to "open doors"—the area was under Ottoman then British rule. Arab leaders and much of the population opposed further Jewish immigration, leading to riots in 1929 and the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt.
British policy, shaped by that opposition, severely restricted Jewish entry via the 1939 White Paper just as Nazi persecution intensified. Prominent Palestinian Arab leader Haj Amin al-Husseini actively collaborated with the Nazis to prevent Jewish refugees from reaching Palestine.
