Hi Tom, Do we have to go into the history so deep? If every nation begins to seek its roots we have to redivide the whole world. :)
I'm not a specialist in history and I use Wikipedia as well as you then let me merely repeat briefly I have read there about Palestine, Israel and Jews.
For the period of about 2000 years the Palestinian territory was under the rule of Persians, Greeks, Romans, Turks anyone but not Jews. Pretty long period, isn't it? So I very doubt about Jew's rights to this land. At the beginning of 20th century the percentage of Jewish population of Palestine was about 10% only. After partitioning of the Ottoman Empire the Palestine fell into the British sphere of interests and UK obtained the mandate for Palestine. In the period of British rule the Jewish population increased up to 33%, up from 10%, as the British Government was favourable to the establishment in Palestine so-called “the national home” for Jewish people (This, as I see, is a key moment. Just the British appearance started the realization of the Zionist ideas.) The British, appealing to the terms of the Mandate, which they had designed themselves, rejected the principle of majority rule or any other measure that would give an Arab majority control over the government of Palestine. In 1947 UK withdrew from commitment to the Mandate of Palestine, stating it was unable to arrive at a solution acceptable to both Arabs and Jews. (At first, UK had created the situation and then withdrew to shift the blame to someone else.) And the newly created UN (that's it the “someone else”) approved a plan to resolve the Arab-Jewish conflict by partitioning territory into separate states. In 1948, the Jewish Agency proclaimed independence of Israel. The following day the war began. During that war about 80% of previous Arab population left Israel. At the same time the same amount of Jewish people from Arab countries migrated into Israel. Interesting thing, in the Russian version of Wikipedia said that Arabs left their homes of their own will to settle on the territories allocated for Arabs according to UN plan when the Jews were exiled. Thus, we can see that Israel is the artificial state. It was created in compliance with the some other states' wishes within about the thirty years. Is it possible to establish the Jewish sate in the territory where Jewish people constituted only 10th part of the population? Is it possible to win the war against five Arabian states? Who supports Jews? No doubt, their god.
