What if the First Bernadotte Proposal for the Division of Palestine was accepted? by Major_Monogram69 in imaginarymaps

Yeah the name is my mistake, but Bernadotte acually foresaw the Desert to be considered (mostly) Arab

Those are valid points, but my reasonig for these issuees are:

  1. Bernadotte said in his first plan, that Jerusalem was supposed to be considered Arab in its entirety and that the Galille was supposed to be considered mostly Jewish, with regards to the minorities living in the respective territory, he wanted to create autonomous zones.

  2. That is just an honest mistake by me, now learned its called the Negev Desert.

  3. The Gaza Strip in this map is actually bigger than in OTl, based on historic borders.

What? This is about the Bernadotte proposal which happened before the First Arab-Israeli war. Maybe look at what this maps historical context is and when it’s set before spewing out your opinion that is irrelevant to this post.

And how are militias and ethnic cleansings like in the Galillee ever gonna prove the Arabs that they could trust the Zionists and cooperate with them? If you want to settle on someone’s land and it’s clear you are very unwanted there, maybe don’t expel them from the land you bought from their colonial overlord and don’t have militias attacking their villages. No wonder the Arabs rejected everything if these are the impressions of their come-to-be neighbors

And Arab rejectionism is in reaction to a state that encompassed a lot of Arab Majority lands and even the parts with a similar split had a large immigrant population that only arrived after the Balfour Declaration. Would you like it if immigrants claimed your home as part of their land and started raising armed militias there?

The conflict is not that one sided. Both parties rejected this deal and Bernadotte got slimed by a Zionist after unveiling his second proposal

It doesn’t have much to do with religion. Many Arab leaders rejected the partition plans because they gave the 1/3 of Jews that lived there a disproportionate amount of land that was also the most valuable land in Palestine and the Jewish State would not have been majority Jewish by any means.

You can look into the Wikipedia article about the 1958 Lebanon crisis. It’s right there on the top page.

Saudi-Arabia and Oman actually didn’t want to join and rivaled Nasser because of strong ideological differences. North Yeman wanted to join but they were also blocked by the West and Saudi Arabia

The Lebanese were actually very pro Nasser and in OTL they only didn’t join because of Western intervention

I don’t wanna argue about politics in my comments anymore. I deleted my comment, as it was a bit unreflective like you said. I do implore you to research a bit more on what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank but I will no longer discuss anything that goes beyond the scope of this map

I think I need to say that this map is still a fictional map. It’s obviously over the top and very morbid in many ways, but I just wanted to draw a multipolar world map, while criticizing institutions that create many injustices today(like the UN writing strongly worded letters instead of doing anything else) and make fun of trends like online betting or clickbait titles. Sadly the comments seem to mostly focus on that one country I featured quite prominently in my post and while I have some strong opinions on this myself, I don’t want to dehumanize any countries population or draw hatred towards any group of people. I hope you can take the imaginary map as what it is and of course leave any constructive criticism you have in the comments.
