Teribus, your question was not "did the Palestinians formally accept the state of Israel during the 1940s". Your question was this (copy-pasting from your post)...

Have the "Palestinians" formally recognised the existance of a Jewish National Homeland - No they have not

The correct answer is that they have formally accepted the state of Israel.


Whether or not they did so in the 1940s is totally irrelevant to any of the points I have been making. Perhaps you are responding to something someone else has said.
