Here is the PDF version too.What is tragically funny that almost all Jewish religious establishments petitioned the UN against partition.Please don’t take our words for it, here we directly quote Hasbarah JVL:
In fact, this position was adopted by the bulk of the Orthodox world (with the exception of a small faction of Orthodox Zionists, led by Chief Rabbi Abraham Kook and his followers) well up until the United Nations voted to partition Palestine on November 29, 1947. Representatives of another Orthodox party, Agudat Israel, actually asked the General Assembly to vote against partition. Tensions were at their highest between the Zionist and non-Zionist Jewish communities in Palestine in the 1920s, following the assassination of Jakob de Haan, a Dutch poet, former Zionist, and spokesman for Agudat Israel against the creation of a Jewish State.
