"The surest foundation of peace and prosperity in Palestine would be an understanding between the Jews and Arabs"
-British White Paper of late 1938, formally giving up hope on the notion of dividing Palestine.
Given that the realization of the impractibility of the partition was a consequence of the violent Arab rejection of any recognition of Jewish sovereignty, the underlying tone of this statement is clearly fanciful to say the least.
While the statement does speak the truth in theory, the reality has been and continues to be proven otherwise. Although the current political constitution is drastically different today than it was at the time of the above statement, nevertheless, today, just as then, the Arabs viciously oppose any recognition of the Jewish Land of Israel.
Some things never change. Wake up Obama.
