    Palestinians were in fact asked for their opinion before the UN voted to split it in half…

    There’s a shituation very comparable to Palestine happening today in Western Sahara. A former colony of Spain.

      Do you have a source for this?

      Fair enough. Spain had an UN mandate that ordered them to oversee the process of decolonization, and instead they just gave it up to Morocco against the wishes of the Saharawi people themselves. The contemporary attitude of both the US and Spain is disgusting in this issue.

        If he’s referring to what I’m thinking about it was the Arab league that was asked. They said “no” and the UN said “we don’t care”

          I replied to a post that claimed they weren’t asked for their opinion. Instead of working with the UN to decide on how the territory should be split they just said “we don’t care”. It’s like refusing to go to your divorce or custody hearing because you think it’ll be unfair

          Their plan was to get the neighbouring countries to invade and capture the entire territory

          So the majority of Palestinians just flat out refused to discuss splitting their country apart, just like it would happen everywhere. The way in which you presented facts is disturbingly misleading.

            I’m just replying to the statement they were never asked about their opinion. How is that misleading?
