Step-by-step explanation:
In 1947, when the UN voted to partition Palestine and create a Jewish State, Arabs did not own most of the land. According to historical records, it was actually the Palestinians who owned about 90 percent of the land at the time. However, as a consequence of the territorial partition, thousands of Palestinian Arabs were forced off the land that was allocated to the Jewish state and became refugees in the Palestinian portion or in neighboring countries.
