There was already a massive population of Jewish settlers in Palestine by the time the UN came onto the scene. Unless your opinion is that the UN should’ve performed some ethnic cleansing right after the Holocaust had just occurred, which would have been, putting it mildly, a very bad look, negotiating a settlement between the two sides is all they could’ve done.
And not only settlers, even if the settler part was a majority of the Jewish population after the WWII. Jerusalem for example had a Jewish majority since at least the XIXth century.
The antiquity of the Jewish presence doesn’t justify the current ethnic cleansing, of course.
012345678 and 9 are what you call numbers, they make it easier for people to understand what you mean while also saving you time. WW2 is a character shorter than WWII, but this isn’t a big of a deal because it can get confusing if someone writes it as wwii. When it comes to xixth it is also better to write as XIXth, I agree. And while 19th is only a character shorter, in this case it saves people a bunch of mega seconds of thinking an converting this. Now you might just really not like the metric system, but this has nothing to do with that. This has to do with why Roman numerals lost to Arabic ones: 012345678 and 9 are easier to understand.

Numbers you said? It’s an interesting idea for sure, but I don’t think the world is ready.
Not with that attitude, you gotta move fast and break things x2
from the paragraph before the same article, quoted at length, above
people seem to like to imply that the immigration was illegal or immoral by skipping this part
similarly they forget the violence by the arab community against the jewish community in the period before the larger wars
