^^MangyMoose: Folks forget that Balfour, and later Peel Commission, BOTH state that both Jews AND Arabs, would receive “homelands” (not nation states btw), and Palestine would be divided between them. The Peel “map” actually was the better of the two, Arabs got a little more land, but a lot of it was in the Negev, and of little value, even today (where Israel now has its nuclear program based, for that reason).
It grows tiresome with all the folks who do NOT know the real history constantly claiming the Jews were promised a nation they could call “Israel.” It’s also tiresome that folks overlook the terrorist acts of the Zionists (violent and radical ones) who murdered British soldiers, and women and children, and basically taught the techniques of terror to later generations, Arab and Jew, and well Viet Cong as well!! (Bike bombs in particular, and booby trapped bodies.)
