The 29th of November, then and now
On Saturday night, November 29, 1947, many of the Jews in the Land of Israel went out to dance in the streets of the cities. They were celebrating the United Nations decision to establish a Jewish state in part of the country. The Arabs were also supposed to get a state, but they went to war.

Why there was partition
Some claim that the expression "a Jewish and democratic state" is a contradiction in terms; the Partition Plan, on the other hand, asserts that the two states, the Jewish one and the Arab one, must be democratic.
