The dishonest narrative of the “shrinking Palestine” maps; ● The documented history of how individuals acquired the land through trade; ● The Arab rejection of the two-state UN partition plan; ● How the very idea of a partition plan ignored the moral dimension of the Palestinian claim for statehood; ● Why the issue is not fundamentally about land but the type of society being established; ● How Israel ended up occupying the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights; ● How the flawed “land for peace” policy exposed the impossibility of a peaceful Palestinian state; ● The fact that the Palestinians' goal has never been to build a free, prosperous society. The Palestinians have actually had numerous opportunities to create an independent state, but have repeatedly rejected the offers: In 1937, the Peel Commission proposed the partition of Palestine and the creation of an Arab state. In 1939, the British White Paper proposed the creation of a unitary Arab state. In 1947, the UN would have created an even larger Arab state as part of its partition plan. The 1979 Egypt-Israel peace negotiations offered the Palestinians autonomy, which would almost certainly have led to full independence. The Oslo agreements of the 1990s laid out a path for Palestinian independence, but the process was derailed by terrorism. In 2000, Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered to create a Palestinian state in all of Gaza and 97 percent of the West Bank. In 2008, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert offered to withdraw from almost the entire West Bank and partition Jerusalem on a demographic basis. In addition 1948 to 1967, Israel did not control the West Bank. The Palestinians could have demanded an independent state from the Jordanians. On the contrary whilst Jordan was in control Arafat said there was no longer a claim as it was no longer part of Palestine. Once it was back in Israeli hands it miraculously became disputed land again! This is one of many reasons Jews and Israelis are cynical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btVFgqkgkzw&t=17s
