Palestinians were given half and Israelis were given half in 1948.
Palestinians on behest of Arab nationalists, refused to accept their half. As they wanted all of it.
Obviously it didn't work.
Jinnah never supported militancy and lawlessness. he was among the few Muslim leaders who opposed Khilafat movement.
So he could never support attacks on Israel either. Too bad he didn't live long enough to articulate peaceful solution to the Arab-Israeli problem.
However he did admire Saad Zaghlol Pasha of Egypt for one specific reason. Pasha was very generous with the coptic Christian minority of Egypt. In fact Jinnah is on record in his 1948 interview with NYT reporter, that he would have preferred the same type of deal with Indian Congress. He lamented that INdian Congress was too prejudiced to offer him the similar deal as the one offered by Pasha to Egyptian minority.
Imran Khan as usual is picking up anti-West anti-Israel stance and then destroying Jinnah's image by mis-quoting him. Bad Imran. Very bad.
Peace.
