In this Palestinian’s view, Israel was not the problem - but rather the corrupt and self-serving Palestinian leadership. There was no universally held view as to what a reconstituted Jewish homeland that might look like. The historian Colin Shindler noted:“In the inter-war years, the industrialisation of Palestine and increased Jewish immigration under the British Mandate produced prosperity for both peoples. Miles-Mojab’s claim of a ‘one-state reality imposed on Palestinians’ ignores the fact that in Israel, Jews and Arabs enjoy equal rights. Until there’s a shift in mindset among Palestinian leaders, one that accepts Jewish presence in the region, there will be no peace.
