The Partition Solution
Keyword(s):
This chapter looks at the emergence of proposals to partition Palestine into a separate Arab and Jewish states. It argues that partition, far from representing a last-ditch effort to solve the problems of Arab-Zionist conflict in Palestine, actually reflected central principles of the imperial state system the mandate governments and the League had long been building across the Middle East. In particular, this chapter examines how the League and the British began to present partition as a mode of protecting minority rights and the principle of national self-determination – the same rationales used to promote the idea of transfer – and traces Zionist, Palestinian Arab, and regional Arab responses to proposals of partition.
