In the UN's defense, at that point, tensions were so high and everything so utterly fucked by the past ~25 years that there was probably no division they could've offered that would've gotten both parties to lay down their arms.

In the UN's not-defense, neither side wanted a division in the first place (the Zionist side was very clear they intended to take over all of Palestine no matter what the partition plan said) and both were pretty vocal about it. The Palestinians more so, but still.

I mean, yeah, but "I'm going to pick one of you to be the total winner" is pretty much a non-starter as far as diplomatic solutions go, whereas "Everyone is going to end up disappointed" sometimes works.

Zero state solution. Y'all couldn't behave, now nobody gets it.
