I've made up my mind that you don't care much about the factual record.

The question of whether Palestinians owned the land taken from them is not "nit picking."
Whether the Palestinians were actually offered a state or a plan to transfer them from land they already owned is not "nit-picking," 

as you would quickly recognize if I offered you a deal to keep half your property and give me the rest.

Was that so hard to answer, i mean 1k words to admit that the Peel Partition offered 2 states and you are still trying to argue it.
Factual records???  Like how the Jews were there Long before the Arabs?  
Why are you arguing about who owned the land? The British conquered it and took it from the Ottoman Empire.

So much confusion here. The British did not "own" the land they administrated after the Ottoman collapse. As I've already said.
You are just assuming they owned it because they won WWI and the Ottomans lost and because you aren't familiar with international law
or the mission of the Mandate.

Before that collapse, there were land records showing who owned what land where. The British kept and honored those records.
And they kept a court system intact to register land sales and ownership. That's how we know that as of 1947, Jews owned less than 6% of Palestine. It was Palestinians who owned the rest--NOT the British.

You keep returning to the Peel Partition--how did the British get the right to give Palestinian land to European Jews--and without any
input from Palestinians? They didn't. And realized their error too late.

But you still want to spin this offer to give up land--an offer Jews rejected as well--as an example of Palestinian intransigence
rather than robbery perpetrated by invaders.

I've always "admitted" that the Peel Partition offered Palestinian land to European Jews.

Though both Arabs and Jews rejected the partition, you want to frame that as Palestinians being unreasonable,
not giving their land away because people in Britain decided that was a good idea.
