you are putting a modern lenses onto history. It may be judged wrong now but the world had come out of two world wars - wars which engulfed almost every country save those that remained neutral

facts are rather different from his you present them. The area was actually part of the Ottoman Empire and after they lost in ww1 it was handed to Britain - a mandate whatever that meant in reality but it certainly gave them the control.

now it might now seem unreasonable that they allowed Jews who were by then being persecuted across Europe but if, as you have suggested, you cared about the Holocaust what was your solution? At that point we had multiple factors at work. We can postulate why by it is much much more complex than the Balfour declaration which I’m sure you will trot out

33 nations voted yes to the resolution to split the area. You ought to read it because it’s not what you think either - but I leave it to you to work out why.

Russia voted yes as did Eastern European nations and South America. None of these could have been accused of being dependent on the US and all will have had their own reasons for wishing Israel into existence

so get over it being solely the uk and us betraying them.

when Israel came into being five Arab nations including Palestinians attacked Israel

had they accepted the two state solution they would have had no reason to attack would they. The plo and subsequently Hamas have regularly rejected the two state solution.

Parsifal you conveniently fail to mention that the Zionists set up a terror network to attack the British and Palestinians long before any state of Israel was established.

The zionists in the early 1940's were no different to modern day Hamas, history records it!
