In June 1947 the new-formed UN had a vote on the partition of what was then known as Palestine. It was decided that Palestine should be divided into independent Jewish and Arab sections.
As a result of this vote, the British left the area, the war between Arabs and Jews intensified and the State of Israel came into being.
The UN Vote on Partition is seen in present-day Israeli consciousness and in Jewish historiography as having great significance. A brief analysis of the voting patterns and of what produced them shows that to a great degree the outcome of this vote was due to the will of what we consider to be Israelite Nations.
In Biblical Times Ten out of the Twelve Tribes of Israel had been exiled and lost their identity.
Their descendants are now to be found amongst Western Peoples. They are the Lost Ten Tribes. This is proven from the Bible, Talmud,
and Rabbinical Sources as well as from Secular Studies in Ancient History, Archaeology, Mythology,
Linguistics, and related fields.
Proof of Josephite Origin: The UN-US Vote for Partition. |
In 1947 members of the UN voted for the Partition of Palestine. This Vote had Cosmic Significance. It lead the way to the creation of the State of Israel. It also freed the Jews from the one remaining impediment to ending the Exile. The USA was instrumental in ensuring that the needed two-thirds majority was reached. This is yet another proof identifying America with Joseph in the End Times. |

United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UN General Assembly
Resolution 181 (II)
Date:29 November 1947
Meeting no.:128
Code:A/RES/181(II) (Document)
Vote: For: 33 Abs.: 10 Against: 13
Subject: Future government of Palestine
Result: Adopted
The vote
Passage of the resolution required a two-thirds majority of the valid votes, not
counting abstaining and absent members, of the UN's then 56 member states. On 26
November, the vote was postponed. According to multiple sources, had the vote
been held at that time, it would have received a majority, but less than the
required two-thirds.[21][22]
Reports of pressure
Both sides put pressure on member countries to vote for or against the
partition. A telegram signed by 26 US senators with influence on foreign aid
bills was sent to wavering countries, seeking their support for the partition
plan.[23] Many nations reported pressure directed specifically at them:
United States (Vote: For): President Truman later noted, "The facts were that
not only were there pressure movements around the United Nations unlike anything
that had been seen there before, but that the White House, too, was subjected to
a constant barrage. I do not think I ever had as much pressure and propaganda
aimed at the White House as I had in this instance. The persistence of a few of
the extreme Zionist leaders actuated by political motives and engaging in
political threats disturbed and annoyed me."[24]
India (Vote: Against): Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru spoke with anger
and contempt for the way the UN vote had been lined up. He said the Zionists had
tried to bribe India with millions and at the same time his sister, Vijaya
Lakshmi Pandit, had received daily warnings that her life was in danger unless
"she voted right".[25]
Liberia (Vote: For): Liberia's Ambassador to the United States complained that
the US delegation threatened aid cuts to several countries.[26] Harvey S.
Firestone, Jr., President of Firestone Natural Rubber Company, with major
holdings in the country, also pressured the Liberian government[21][23]
Philippines (Vote: For): In the days before the vote, the Philippines'
representative General Carlos P. Romulo stated "We hold that the issue is
primarily moral. The issue is whether the United Nations should accept
responsibility for the enforcement of a policy which is clearly repugnant to the
valid nationalist aspirations of the people of Palestine. The Philippines
Government holds that the United Nations ought not to accept such
responsibility". After a phone call from Washington, the representative was
recalled and the Philippines' vote changed.[23]
Haiti (Vote: For): The promise of a five million dollar loan may have secured
Haiti's vote for partition.[27]

of Yugoslavia, which was to be expelled from Cominform the following year. The

abstaining. Asian countries voted against partition, with the exception of the
Philippines.[28]
