Where would the proposal to divide Palestine into Jewish and Palestinian states have placed Jerusalem?
Jerusalem would have been a "corpus separatum" completely outside of Israeli and Palestinian jurisdiction and under an internationally led governance. However, after ten years, there would have been a referendum in Jerusalem as to whether it would like to maintain that status quo or join with the Israeli or Palestinian State. Given that it was surrounded on all four sides by the Palestinian State, it seemed likely that Jerusalem would eventually become part of the Palestinian State through this vote.

Was there Palestinian involvement during World War 2?
Yes It is unclear what is meant by "Palestinian Involvement". The Jewish Militias of Palestine, like the Haganah and Palmach (who at that time were called Palestinian Jews) actively contributed to the British War Effort against the Nazis. The Palestinian Arabs did not assist the British War effort, although they were involved in supporting the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who was a close friend of the Nazis and Fascists in Europe.
Was the Jewish area of Palestine recognized by the Ottoman Empire?
The Ottomans did not recognize the concept of Palestine as any sort of administrative term. The area was administrated as three separate governates/provinces: the Wilayet of Damascus (which controlled much of what is now southwest Syria, Jordan, and southern Israel), the Wilayet of Beirut (which controlled much of Lebanon and northern Israel), and the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem (which controlled the central area of Israel and the Palestinian Territories).
Where did the first Arab-Israeli Conflicts happen 1949?
The question as posed asserts two things which cannot be together. The Arab-Israeli War started in 1948 and conflicts between Jewish and Arab Militias operating in the British Mandate of Palestine started in the 1920s. Therefore the first engagements occurred at that time and primarily occurred in the center of the country (Tel Aviv-Jerusalem-Hebron). The Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1949 were primarily based along the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway, the Palestinian-Syrian border and the Palestinian-Egyptian (where the word Palestinian refers to the British Mandate of Palestine).
What are the causes of the Arab-israeli wars?
After the proposal was adopted by the UN General Assembly in November 1947, the conflict escalated and Palestinian Arabs started attacking Jewish convoys and communities throughout Palestine and blocked Jerusalem, whereupon the Zionists attacked and destroyed several Palestinian villages. The Arab League had openly declared that it aimed to prevent the establishment of a Jewish state by force, and Al Husseini told the British that he wanted to implement the same 'solution to the Jewish problem' as Hitler had carried out in Europe.Arabs obsession with the idea of destruction the Jewish State of Israel.Arab countries started four wars against Israel and lost them all.Arabs´obsession with the idea of the destruction of the State of Israel.
How many states did the United Nations propose dividing Palestine into?
It depends on how the question is read. If it is referring to UNGA Resolution 181 (II), which was passed in 1947 and was designed to deal with the British Mandate of Palestine, it was divided into 2 countries - Israel and Palestine, but the UN had proposed that the city of Jerusalem be made into a separate, international city. However, as a result of nearly 70 years of conflict, the current plan is to have the Eastern Jerusalem as the capital for the Palestinian State and the Western Jerusalem as the Capital for Israel State. Israel insists to have the whole Jerusalem as Israel capital.
Why did the genocide in Palestine 1948 start?
There was no genocide in Palestine. This is hyperbole. To read about why what occurred in Palestine was not a genocide or to read about the actual reasons for the 1947-1949 Jewish-Arab Engagement or the general causes of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, please see the Related Questions below.
How did the Romans influence palestine?
After the second Jewish revolt, Rome expelled the Jews from Jerusalem, enslaved many of the survivors of the rebellion, leveled Jerusalem and renamed it, and combined the former Roman provinces the region into a new land called Palestine. So, you could say that Rome created Palestine, or at least, they named it.
What is the historic capital of Palestine?
It is unclear what is meant by this since Historic Palestine is a regional term, not a political one. With the exception of the recent Palestinian government that declared independence in 1988, Palestine has always been the territory of a Jewish-ruled State or a foreign state. Under the Ottomans, it was divided in three parcels and ruled from Beirut (northern areas and Lebanon), Jerusalem (central areas), and Damascus (southern areas, Jordan, and Syria). Under the British, the colonial administration was in Jerusalem, but reported back to London. From 1949-1959 there was a puppet Palestinian government in Gaza City that was supported by the Egyptians (until the Egyptians decided to quash it and rule the territory of the Gaza Strip directly).

What is effect did the UN partition have on Palestine and Jerusalem?
The Partition would have separated the Mandate for Palestine into a Jewish State, an Arab State, and a separate UN-governed area for the Old City of Jerusalem. However, since fighting broke out immediately after the UN Resolution was signed, the only effect of the Resolution was to grant legitimacy to the presence of two states, one Jewish and one Arab in the land of Mandatory Palestine.
