"You're going fishing back to 1895, 42 years before the Arab rejection of the Peel Commission partition plan, to fabricate Zionist rejectionism that wasn't there."

So Herzl didn't mean what he said?

Do note the later quotes I provided.

Regarding 1947:

“The Arab League hastily called for its member countries to send regular army troops into Palestine. They were ordered to secure only the sections of Palestine given to the Arabs under the partition plan. But these regular armies were ill equipped and lacked any central command to coordinate their efforts...[Jordan’s King Abdullah] promised [the Israelis and the British] that his troops, the Arab Legion, the only real fighting force among the Arab armies, would avoid fighting with Jewish settlements...Yet Western historians record this as the moment when the young state of Israel fought off “the overwhelming hordes’ of five Arab countries. In reality, the Israeli offensive against the Palestinians intensified.” “Our Roots Are Still Alive,” by the Peoples Press Palestine Book Project.

You may think Jimmy Carter was a liar on whether Hamas would've done what Hamas offered to do. I see no reason to believe that.
