(ToldotYisrael) On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in 1947, Abba Eban and the Jewish Agency delegation to the UN were concerned that the Zionists did not have enough support to pass the Partition Plan. Rodriguez Fabraget, Uruguay's UN delegate, kindly obliged Abba Eban's request for a filibuster that succeeded in postponing the vote until after Thanksgiving, to give them enough time to secure the requisite two-thirds majority to approve the establishment of a Jewish state. This is the story of the November 29, 1947, UN vote for the Partition of Palestine, when 20 centuries of Jewish homelessness came to an end. 2010-11-30 10:18:23Full Article
