The people who objected are those who's houses and land that the Jews who came were going to steal from them as they've done.
Arabs living inside the proposed Jewish state were not ordered to surrender their houses to European Jews and leave.

UN plan explicitly provided that people would become citizens of the state in which they lived, with full civil and political rights. It also specifically prohibited expropriating Arab-owned land in the Jewish state except for public purposes and with compensation.

So the Jews and Christians who live in Israel since then, were their lands and houses stolen?

They gambled on preventing Jewish sovereignty altogether. Na their choice. But pretending they had no alternative except accepting the theft of their homes rewrites what the partition proposal actually contained.

You and your bestie Raumdeuter are grown, with supposed children, who spend hours of their lives lying and talking about homosexuality on an online forum.
No difference between you two.
Well he actually lives in the US, so doesn't have to pretend, and he doesn't have a baby momma and kids he doesn't live with.
Well that's what he claims.

Because the Europeans returning are not the Palestinians who have lived their for centuries.
Being born in Europe doesn't magically erase someone's ancestry.

You keep changing what qualifies as an ancestral connection depending on who we're talking about.

Jews did not suddenly become connected to that land because Britain invited European Jews there.

Jewish peoplehood originated there, Jewish communities continued to exist there, and diaspora Jews maintained ancestral connections to the Levant.

Even modern genetic evidence shows Levantine ancestry among several Jewish diaspora populations.

The bottom line is: The Jews wanted them to return, who are the Arabs to reject? They could have accepted their own half of the partition and expelled all the Jews from it while Jews returned to the other part of the partition that belongs to the Jews.

And now you are sounding anti immigration.

You and Raumdeuter are equals at lying.
Why is that all the conversative in this thread are practiced liars?
And why is it that what you chose to talk/lie about is homosexuality.

How's pretending to live in the US going?
Why don't you tell us again about your supposed first day in the US.

The land belongs to those who live there.

And I was not referring to you. Sorry I did not make that clear.
You are changing your tune. If it belongs to those who live there. Why do you have issues with Jews from Europe returning? The Jews who live there want them to return, if the Arabs don't want them, they should have accepted their state and move to the state of the Arabs. They rejected their state the Jews accepted theirs.

Did the word "illegally" mean nothing to you in what you quoted or are you suggesting that buda supports what buda considers to be illegal?
Of course I saw the word “illegally.” It doesn't rescue your argument.

I'm not claiming you support something you consider illegal. I'm asking you to explain why you apply your Land Back principle differently here.

if your position is that the Jewish claim is specifically illegal, then demonstrate what makes the ancestral claim itself illegitimate.

Because you've already established that centuries of residence and becoming the majority do not, by themselves, extinguish an ancestral claim.

Don't try to hide behind one word

Empathy for or lack of for whom? But yes, I agree. What Israel is doing is no different to what was done to them in Europe, and it really amazes me that the world is so silent about it.

Hamas has blame too. They went way too far on October 7, but I can understand their frustration, considering the silence at Israel's atrocities. Still, too far. And the Palestinians are collateral damage, we should allow ourselves to be convinced it seems to me.
Hamas went too far?

Interesting. Since when did you come to this realization? You were encouraging them to go far.

This is not according to me, ben, and I don't know why you'd claim it is! And you making such claims just makes what else you say just pointless.

You are claiming that according to me, if my great great great grandparents bought land and handed it down and it got to me, some ancestor of those he bought it from can come and claim it from me when they become a majority.

Please know that according to buda that would be theft, and murder too if the ancestor kills to take that land off me.
You are trying to change the proposition it seems.
It is accordin to you,

If people had come from elsewhere to the area called Nigeria and occupied the land and have now become the majority race, all the indigenous tribes that are left in those areas would be yelling #landback, and we might be yelling it as forcefully if not more than Israel is illegally yelling it at Palestine.

Basically, I see it internationally. And it's similar to descendants of slaves asking for lifeback, or at least to be paid for the stolen labour of their ancestors.

your own previous posts destroy this argument.
When discussing ancestral land, you said:
“If it were my ancestors land, I would not be joining anyone, I would be leading!”

You also said that if outsiders occupied Nigeria, became the majority and left the indigenous tribes as minorities, those indigenous people would still be justified in shouting #LandBack.

According to you, becoming the majority and living somewhere for centuries does not erase the ancestral claim of the people who were there before.

Yet the moment we discuss Jews, you suddenly reverse the principle and your double standards shines like the sun and your argument becomes: “But Arabs had lived throughout Palestine for centuries, so how could Jews expect territory there?”

Which is it?

Jewish national history in that land did not begin with Britain. Jewish kingdoms and communities existed there, and Jewish presence long predates the seventh-century Arab-Muslim conquest.

The Muslim conquest of Palestine began in the 630s, while Jewish communities were already there under Byzantine rule.

You ca say Palestinians have historical connection to the land. Yes they do. But your “they lived there for centuries” argument cannot, by your own #LandBack! logic fly, or erase the older Jewish connection.

When the colonizer is European, you tell us centuries passing and becoming the majority don't extinguish indigenous claims.

When the conquest was Arab and the indigenous people are Jews, suddenly centuries of residence become your decisive argument.

Why does your Land Back principle change depending on who did the conquering?

I find it a wonder that people from a nation created by the British of that era would refuse to even consider why some who had had much longer and more significant British experience by then would have been as ign0rant as you are. It kind of makes me want to beg you to accommodate the Muslims whom you claim are trying to dominate your mind, but I know that would be pointless nor would you recognise the contradiction.

Only arrogant people like the 1937 British would expect Arabs who for centuries had lived all over Palestine along with Jews who lived there too to move to areas now partitioned for them to accommodate those who's aspiration are from the Nile to the Euphrates.
Well, they had every right to refuse the proposal. Nobody forced them to accept partition.

But refusing a compromise also has consequences. Arab leadership wasn't saying, “Give us fairer borders and we'll accept a Jewish state next door.”

They rejected the principle of partition and wanted Palestine under Arab rule instead, they wanted blood.

So yes, they were entitled to say no. But you cannot simultaneously say they had every right to reject compromise and then act as though the consequences of repeatedly choosing an all-or-nothing big-eyeness just fall out of the sky.

They believed they could prevent Jewish sovereignty altogether. They tried, they lost, and the territorial position available to the Arabs afterward was worse than what partition had offered them.
That is history, not British arrogance.

The same was the case for India and Pakistan, the Brits partitioned India and Pakistan ten years later, and millions of Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs ended up moving across the new borders.

Around 15 million people were displaced in one of the largest migrations in modern ever.

So make we hear word about partitioning a mixed population was some uniquely outrageous concept invented for Jews in Palestine.

You can say the Peel population-transfer proposal was unfair but partition by definition sometimes leaves minorities on the wrong side of a new border, just like in India.

So was there any partition under which the Arab leadership was prepared to accept a sovereign Jewish state at all?

I will hug the children that have been killed by the IDF. The little lovely children that have been blown by your loving blood suckers.

But you.. shame all day everyday escorts you.

You’re stuck with a sex offender and a pdf to times indefinite..

What sorry life..
You can hug them no problem. It is sad that hamas and their parents put them in this difficult situation.

But why are you finding it hard to be critical to Hamas without bringing the US into it? Which US kids dance in the street and spit on someone the US army captured? They are busy in schools or playing with Barbie dolls. Doing what children actually do.

I am not stuck with Hamas, you are. I will like to be stuck in it a sex offender and a pdf than be stuck with Hamas, since I am doing like you do, throw baseless accusations, I can also say you should keep worshipping your gods and blood tasty warlords Hamas.

It is very simple to just say that's nonsense hamas is doing without pivoting to US children hold guns

AI summary and Comprehensive timeline

details from the Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) thread (posted August 26, 2025; main post ID 1960345052200218849), titled “The History of Palestinian Rejections of Statehood Offers – A Pattern of Maximalism Over Peace.”

The 25-part thread argues that Palestinian leaders repeatedly rejected opportunities for a state because acceptance would require recognizing Israel’s existence and committing to a two-state solution. It frames the pattern as prioritizing the goal of eliminating Israel over pragmatic statehood (“from the river to the sea”). Each segment is accompanied by an image/infographic. Engagement on the main post was high (thousands of likes/reposts and hundreds of thousands of views at the time of the original fetch).

Timeline of offers and responses as presented in the thread

1937 – British Peel Commission**: Proposed partitioning Mandatory Palestine into Jewish and Arab states. Jewish side accepted; Arab leaders rejected it outright, refusing any Jewish sovereignty. Thread presents this as the start of a rejectionist pattern to avoid recognizing a Jewish state.

1947 – UN Partition Plan (Resolution 181)**: Divided Palestine into independent Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem internationalized. Jews accepted; Palestinian Arabs and surrounding Arab states rejected it, leading to the 1948 war. Goal framed as preventing any Israel.

1948–1949 – Post-independence armistices**: Israel established; armistice agreements signed in 1949, but Arab states and Palestinians refused full peace treaties recognizing Israel. Jordan annexed the West Bank; Egypt controlled Gaza. No push for a Palestinian state at the time—focus remained on destroying Israel.

1967 – Six-Day War and aftermath**: Israel captured territories and indicated willingness to return most for peace (linked to UN Resolution 242). Arab leaders at the Khartoum summit issued the “three no’s”: no peace, no recognition, no negotiation with Israel. Palestinians aligned with this priority of elimination over statehood.

1978–1979 – Camp David Accords (Israel–Egypt)**: Included a framework for Palestinian autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza toward self-governance and potential statehood. PLO under Yasser Arafat rejected it as a betrayal and refused any deal implying Israel’s permanence.

1982 – Reagan Plan**: Proposed Palestinian self-government in association with Jordan, building on Camp David. PLO rejected it, insisting on full independence without prior recognition of Israel.

1991–1993 – Madrid Conference and Oslo Accords**: Palestinians invited to negotiations; Oslo created interim self-rule for the Palestinian Authority. PLO accepted the process but delayed full recognition and amendments to its charter (which called for Israel’s destruction) until 1996 (described as half-hearted). Violence, including the Second Intifada, later derailed progress. Thread notes the pre-1996 PLO covenant explicitly rejected Israel’s existence.

2000 – Camp David Summit (Clinton parameters / Barak offer)**: Israeli PM Ehud Barak offered roughly 91% of the West Bank, all of Gaza, and East Jerusalem as a Palestinian capital. Arafat rejected it without a counteroffer; the Second Intifada followed. Key sticking point cited: no full “right of return” that would demographically overwhelm Israel.

2001 – Taba Talks**: Continued talks with further Israeli concessions (94–96% of the West Bank). Palestinians walked away, refusing compromises that would preserve Israel’s Jewish character.

2002 – Arab Peace Initiative**: Offered Arab normalization for Israeli withdrawal to 1967 lines. Palestinians gave conditional support, but leaders (including Arafat) continued resistance to recognizing Israel as a Jewish state and maintained incitement.

2005 – Israeli disengagement from Gaza**: Israel unilaterally withdrew all settlements and troops, creating a de facto opportunity for Palestinian state-building. In 2006 elections, Palestinians chose Hamas (whose charter calls for Israel’s destruction). Civil war with Fatah followed in 2007; Hamas turned Gaza into a base for attacks and rejected any recognition of Israel.

2008 – Olmert offer**: Israeli PM Ehud Olmert proposed to PA President Mahmoud Abbas approximately 93.7% of the West Bank (with land swaps to reach 100%), all of Gaza, safe passage between them, and shared arrangements in Jerusalem. Abbas never formally responded (effective rejection). Cited reason: refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

2013–2014 – Kerry-mediated talks**: Israel released prisoners; Palestinians applied to UN agencies (seen as violating the process), collapsing talks. Abbas refused to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, a key Israeli demand for ending residual claims.

2020 – Trump “Deal of the Century”**: Offered a Palestinian state on roughly 70% of the West Bank/Gaza area plus economic aid. PA rejected it immediately and boycotted talks, sticking to maximalist demands such as full 1967 borders without swaps.

Additional points on charters, recognition, and leadership (later segments of the thread)

PLO/Fatah positions**: 1964 Charter denied Israel’s legitimacy and called for armed struggle to liberate all of Palestine. Even after the 1988 recognition linked to UN 242 and Oslo, elements of rejection persisted (including a 2018 suspension reference). Fatah claims recognition via Oslo but leaders such as Abbas refuse to acknowledge Israel as a “Jewish state.” Palestinian Authority school maps often omit Israel. In 2014 Abbas stated Palestinians would “never” recognize Israel as Jewish, which the thread links to keeping open a demographic path via refugee descendants’ “right of return.”

Hamas positions**: Original 1988 Charter calls for jihad to destroy Israel and contains antisemitic tropes. 2017 policy document accepts 1967 borders temporarily as a stage but still rejects Israel’s long-term existence. Leaders repeatedly reject recognition or lasting peace; actions including the October 7, 2023 attack are framed as aimed at eradication rather than coexistence. Hamas–Fatah unity efforts fail in part because Hamas refuses Quartet (US, EU, UN, Russia) conditions of renouncing violence and recognizing Israel.

Overall conclusion of the thread
From 1937 to 2020 the post counts at least 10+ offers rejected. It acknowledges critics who say the offers were unfair but maintains that Palestinian leaders consistently prioritized maximalism over pragmatic statehood. The final segment states that the two-state solution remains elusive until Palestinians truly recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state and abandon maximalist goals.

The thread is presented as curated historical narrative emphasizing rejectionism. It does not deeply engage counter-arguments that some offers lacked full sovereignty, contiguous viable territory, adequate Jerusalem arrangements, or satisfactory refugee solutions (perspectives found in other sources). The images in each post reinforce the textual points with maps, documents, or related visuals.

You can barely write English so you can't even tell the rhetorical flourish that is in most of your ChatGPT posts that makes them immediately distinguishable.
It's the same style in most of your posts.
Put a couple of your posts in ChatGPT and ask it to explain it to you.

I assume you're embarrassed by your inability to form basic sentences that's why you're using ChatGPT.
But this is even more embarrassing.
When you cannot argue, you make noise about ChatGPT.

If Iran funded and trained Hamas, Houthis, and Hezbollah, as well as other proxies in Iraq and Syria, and the US goes after them, does it matter if Hamas has been decimated?

Again, it is basic common sense, something you lack so badly. Hamas is still there, the same Iran, left unchecked, will continue to support them.
