In the fall of 1948, Israel had applied for membership in the United Nations but failed to win the necessary majority in the Security Council. In February 1949, Israel renewed its application for membership in the United Nations. On March 4, 1949, the Security Council recommended to the General Assembly that it be admitted. On May 11, Israel was admitted, to become the 59th member. Between January 1, 1949 and May 11. 1949, Israel was recognised by 32 States, in addition to the 20 that had accorded it recognition prior to December 31, 1948

So the UN gave the land to the Zionist, and whose land was this? So the UN is responsible, did the Palestinian received justice? History show that it is a matter of persistence in the end anything can be legitimised, so just keep at it and you will get it.
Although the Palestinians outnumbered the Jews (1,300,000 to 600,000), the latter were better prepared. They had a semi-autonomous government, led by David Ben-Gurion, and their military, the Haganah, was well trained and experienced. The Palestinians, on the other hand, had never recovered from the Arab revolt, and most of their leaders were in exile. The Mufti of Jerusalem, their principal spokesman, refused to accept Jewish statehood. When the UN proposed partition in November 1947, he rejected the plan while the Jews accepted it. In the military struggle that followed, the Palestinians were defeated. Terrorism was used on both sides.

I like Encarta better, if History teaches anything in this case, it is that it is a matter of persistence, what I have been seeking is argument for the legitimacy of these decisions. Do you think that Encarta is anti-British? I told you not to ask me to look into the history of this, it stinks badly :shout
