    In the face of increasing violence after World War II, the British handed the issue over to the recently established United Nations. The result was Resolution 181(II), a plan to partition Palestine into Independent Arab and Jewish States and the Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem. The Jewish state was to receive around 56% of the land area of Mandate Palestine, encompassing 82% of the Jewish population, though it would be separated from Jerusalem. The result was 33 to 13 in favour of the resolution, with 10 abstentions.

    Thats what the U.N is for right, to handle very controverse topics and to find a solution for them. Sorry for the participants of the middle east but thats how a vote works, even if the outcome is not what you expected, but thats democracy.
