While OP show north america in the 1800s they failed to supply the original British mandate area from the 1920s which gives a bit perspective to the next images. Also note that while the Jewish leadership accepted the UN partition plan it was rejected by the Arab/Palestinian over and over.
How does it provide any further perspective? “They actually don’t deserve their land because they were colonized by the British”?
Why would you expect the Palestinians to accept a plan to give half of their land away to a violent colonial expansionist ideology. Should Poland have peacefully given half their land to Germany to avoid the invasion? Do you really think that would work anyway, or is it just an excuse to blame the victims for their own genocide?
Edit: Also, since then Palestine has called for the partition borders to be enforced, and Israel/their allies were the ones to deny it. Israel only ever supported the plan as a means to an end, further colonial expansion.
Over the years borders are dynamic. Most of the time they are changed via wars, violent conflicts and later treaties, some more stable than others. It happen all over the world throughout history. Unless there is a large physical border, you can look at almost any part of the world and see the huge amount of border changes over the years. Focusing on just two places like the above “meme” is hypocrisy.
Also note that right before that Israeli leaders literally killed the UN mefiator Folke Bernadotte because they didn’t like how his partition plan and then replaced him with a Zionist who gave all most if Palestine to Jews.

And it is not a meme.
ah yes the basic ‘but arabs rejected the partition!’ argument?
is this similar to the terrible ‘all palestinians are just arabs’ angle so they should just just leave and give it to colonial settlers, just because?
Why do the brits always think they’re allowed to draw lines on territory that doesn’t belong to them, and evict native peoples.
