Palestinians have selves to blame for lack of state

 The fact that no Palestinian state has existed, other than the Kingdom of Jordan, over the past 89 years must rest squarely on the misguided leadership of the Palestinians themselves.
The original mandate, issued by the Council of the League of Nations and reconfirmed by the San Remo Resolution in 1920, was given to Great Britain for the purpose of the establishment of a homeland for the Jewish people within the area designated as “Palestine” after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1918.
 In 1922 the British, disregarding their League of Nations mandate, partitioned Palestine into Trans Jordan (East Bank 78 per cent of the total mandate) and Palestine (West Bank 22 per cent of the total mandate). Thus the Jews lost 78 per cent of their homeland as originally designated by the League of Nations and in its place, the first independent Palestinian State (Trans Jordan) was established.
In 1937, following the Arab Riots in Palestine, it was once more recommended (by the Peel Commission) to partition yet further what was left of the Palestinian mandate into a Jewish area and an Arab area. This partition (i.e., a further independent Palestinian state) was rejected by the Arabs.
 In 1947, the UN once again proposed to split Palestine into a Jewish area and an Arab area. This partition plan was again rejected by the Arabs and was followed by the 1948 Arab-Israel War (War of Independence) when the nascent state of Israel was attacked by the combined armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and some volunteers from the Arab League and Saudi Arabia.
 In 1967, after the Six Day War, with a new opportunity for negotiations with Israel, the Arabs issued the infamous “Three No’s of Khartoum”:
No peace with Israel;
No recognition of Israel
