It is funny that your source should not travel further back in time, to at least include the time of the #Hittites and #Ramesses II, as the indicisive #BattleOfKadesh led to the first known peace treaty in 1274 BCE.
That would have been a fitting ending.
BTW, I went even further back in time until the beginning of humanity.
If you ignore the fact that early humans crossed from #Africa (and probably the...

...#Arabian peninsula into the #Asian continent and came through the region of #Palestine, then you will quickly see that that region has since times immemorial been like a train station that belongs to nobody and everyone: peoples and armies coming through over millennia.
How do we resolve the dispute then if the "older rights principle" won't work either?
Maybe not that difficult: few people will dispute that the #UN were legally founded.

"Despite strong #Arab opposition, the #UnitedNations votes for the partition of #Palestine and the creation of an independent #Jewish state on this day in 1947."
But the #UN decided on the creation of 2 states:

Yes, and that makes things more complicated.
In the end, if not one of the 2 peoples is rather completely anihilated, an unthinkable outcome, the 1947 solution of the #UN, developed by great thinkers, is IMO the only way to a lasting solution that will not necessarily entail terrorist attacks on a daily basis.

That was a new spin to the (hi)story of Palestine I had not heard of. Possible, in principle, however, if this @wikipedia entry holds true, the #Kingdom of #Jordan *cannot possibly* be that #Arab nation to be carved out from Palestine:

...captured and annexed the West Bank during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War until it was occupied by Israel in 1967. "
The kingdom's independence predates the #UN resolution in question by a year. The resolution about the carve-out of an #Arab nation would not have made any sense anymore in 1947 if #Jordan really were that nation.
