'The Palestinians, as was their right, rejected the UN partition plan because it granted the Jews 65% of the land, more than half of Palestine despite the fact that the European Jews made up only one-third of the population and owned only 6.59 percent of the land. In addition, the Palestinians maintained that the United Nations had no legal right to recommend partition when the majority inhabitants of Palestine opposed it. Nonetheless, by rejecting partition Palestinians did not reject their own claim to an independent nation. Their opposition was to a Jewish state established on Palestinian land, not to the Jews' right as a people."

You should read up on Findley. He an old hack politician and, over the years, about the most vociferous critic of Israel.
Professor Findley's record on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is unblemished with an impressive record in politics, in the academic world and as an author. Of course, stemming from someone like you or those in a similar thought mode, you are only going to see the worse in Findley, someone who is openly critical of Israel, who dares to openly write books and articles about the rogue nation. Prof. Findley's work is well researched and has written another later book titled "They Dare to Speak Out." This book details how critics of Israel are sometimes intimidated and blackmailed into keeping quiet.
Israel is a very small country, and this includes the West Bank. The entire area of the Zionist nation can be "traversed" in three hours. When Israel was placed there as a nation in 1948, it was made clear that the area was to house two peoples, the native Arabs, i.e. Palestinians and the European Jews who were given a home because Europe has turned its back on their own (Hitler's war against native born Jews throughout Europe). It was never intended modern Israel to take over all the land of Palestine and or duplicate ancient Israel which clearly is no more.
Israel's calculating cunning resembles very much her act when applying for membership at the UN. The Zionist nation was turned down several times by the United Nation, until she promised to
NOT TOUCH JERUSALEM. Jerusalem is supposed to be kept as an
OPEN CITY. Israel promised faithfully she would not build settlements in Jerusalem. As soon as Israel became an official member, she turned right around and began building settlements in Jerusalem.
Today's Israeli leaders cannot be trusted and no one it seems in the US congress is willing to defy the Zionist nation. This is why the global movement for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS ) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights, is such a good thing.
