(CNN) David Makovsky - The UN created the State of Israel in 1947 because Britain sought an exit from its internationally-backed mandate to administer the territory. The UN called for a two-state solution that would divide the land between the Jews and the Arabs. The Zionists accepted the Partition Plan. In contrast, the Arab camp attacked Israel on the day of its birth. Israel flourished; Palestine was never born. The circumstances surrounding the Palestinian bid at the UN are very different from those surrounding the British appeal in 1947. Neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis are seeking to exit the region. The UN drama is misplaced. The historical claims of both sides can only be resolved between them.2011-09-26 00:00:00Full Article
