    Oh boy,

    Who promised it to Jews???

    If you are referring to Jacob's sons - well, they are the ISRAELITES!!! And JEWS are descendants from 3 of the Israelite tribes - NOT all 12.

    You keep conflating Jews with Israelites!!!

    Palestinian are also descendants of the Israelites. So are the Samaritan.

    Or are you referring to the British Balfour Declaration???

    If that is what you are referring to, then I got news for ya - the British DID NOT have the right to give away Palestine: They were JUST APPOINTED AS THE TUTOR by the League of Nations.

    Nobody can own Palestine other than the Palestinian who live within it.

    Ben Gurion knew that

    "“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselvesThe country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.”
    — David Ben Gurion. Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech."
