They'll use the logic that you were a rejectionist.

They'll tell you, well, you had the option of accepting this plan.

Since when does any colonized group in history accept the setting up of a settler-colonial

colonial state?

a partition resolution.

I refuse that name.

It is not a partition resolution.

It's a resolution to set up a settler colonial state in Palestine. And it should be understood

as such. And it was understood as such by Palestinians and by the Arab delegates and by other

Asian delegates at the time. They knew exactly what was happening.
