It is true that Palestinians, who comprised the vast majority of the population and owned an overwhelming share of the land, were unhappy with the partition plan, which awarded them 46% of mandatory Palestine. Today, Palestinians are seeking statehood on a mere 22% of the territory that had been part of mandatory Palestine until Israel was unilaterally established on areas much larger than those awarded by UN General Assembly Resolution 181 in 1947.
诚然，巴勒斯坦人对于分治计划划给他们46%的英属巴勒斯坦托管地感到十分不满，他们是巴勒斯坦人口的大头，也拥有绝大部分巴勒斯坦土地。如今，巴勒斯坦所寻求的国土面积只有托管地的22%，1947年联合国大会181号决议后，以色列单方面将决议所授予的土地扩大了很大一部分。
