3. The 1947 partition plan was proposed by the UN, not Great Britain.
4. Sites like the Western Wall and ancient artifacts confirm Jewish historical/religious ties to the land.
5. Jewish claims stem from biblical history; Arab claims from long-term residency and religious sites (e.g., Al-Aqsa).
6. Holocaust awareness increased global sympathy for Jewish self-determination, boosting support for Israel.
