Topics
Norman Finkelstein认为1948年联合国分治决议的目的是解决巴勒斯坦两个民族社群间的实际问题,而非仲裁历史是非。他认为,虽然决议提倡两国方案,但对“犹太国”和“阿拉伯国”的定义缺乏清晰性,除非保障所有公民的完全平等。他认为,由于双方均未遵守分治决议,导致决议最终失败,并且犹太复国主义的扩张主义本质导致了巴勒斯坦人口的流离失所。 Benny Morris认为1948年联合国分治决议是国际社会意愿的体现,但阿拉伯一方拒绝了该决议,并对犹太社群发动战争。战争导致大量巴勒斯坦难民问题,以及以色列为确保自身安全而驱逐部分阿拉伯居民。他认为,如果阿拉伯一方接受分治,就不会出现大规模难民问题,并且犹太复国主义的扩张主义并非其核心目标,而是为了建立一个犹太人占多数的国家,并在阿拉伯人的抵抗下被迫采取了驱逐政策。 Mouin Rabbani认为犹太复国主义的目标是使巴勒斯坦成为一个犹太人占主导地位的国家,这需要犹太人在政治权力、人口和领土方面拥有至高无上的地位。1947年联合国分治决议严重颠覆了巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人和犹太人社群之间的关系,导致了“大灾难”(Nakba)。他认为,分治决议本身就是不公正的,并且巴勒斯坦难民问题是犹太复国主义的必然结果。 Steven Bonnell认为对1948年及其之前历史的解读存在选择性,往往忽略了1947年阿拉伯一方拒绝分治计划而引发的内战,以及犹太人在获得土地之前通过购买获得土地的事实。他认为,阿拉伯一方的战争行为为犹太人提供了理由,并导致了土地的获得,并且阿拉伯人始终拒绝任何包含犹太人主权的方案。
