“Tukam ha-Medinah!” On November 29th, 1947, there came the long-awaited United Nations decision in favor of Partition of Palestine. 33 nations voted for, 13 against, and 10 abstained. Thus the two-thirds majority needed was achieved. The historic decision was greeted by a wave of emotion by the Jews of Palestine and the Diaspora. See EJ, Vol. XVI, cols. 1094-5
