Sixty-seven years ago the United Nations General Assembly adopted a partition plan to separate Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states.

Jews crowd onto a British army armoured car as they celebrate in downtown Jerusalem the morning after the United Nations voted on November 29, 1947 to partition Palestine which paved the way for the creation of the State of Israel on May 15, 1948.
