Hamas o/t

I understood that the 1947 deal was heavily in favour of the Zionists. Arabs were the majority in population but only offered 38% of the land and it would be split into three areas.

I have only been reading about this recently, so may be wrong.

This is so but as ever the devil is in the detail. It's not that simple. A huge chunk of what would have been Israel included the Negev desert in the south. Not exactly prime real estate. The Arab lands surrounded but didn't include Jerusalem which I would have thought was very important to both sides. Jerusalem had its own plan. Both had access to the coast.

Both sides lands were split. The plan included economic union and also the protection of religious and minority rights

Did Israel get all the good bits and were the Arabs hard done to or was that just based they believed it was all theirs? No idea.
