Palestinian self-determination means no partition, no Israel, says official PA TV

Official PA TV narrator: “The right to self-determination is closely connected to the injustice against the Palestinian people. The UN General Assembly thwarted the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination in its Resolution [181] on partitioning Palestine. It did not respect the Palestinian people’s clear and declared desire to end the British Mandate on its homeland and to establish its independent state. Rather it chose to partition Palestine into a Palestinian Arab state and another that became known as Israel."

UN Resolution 181 (the UN partition plan for Palestine) was passed by the UN General Assembly in 1947. It called for the partition of the British Mandate of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as a separate entity under the rule of a special international body. The Arab state was meant to be comprised of the western Galilee, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, and the remaining territory of the Mandate west of the Jordan River would be the state of Israel - Jordan (known at the time as Transjordan) had already been established in what had been the part of the Mandate that was east of the Jordan River. The resolution was accepted by the Jewish Agency for Palestine, but Arab leaders and governments rejected it, and launched a war to destroy Israel.
