Calmar's post was inaccurate. There were, in fact, significant numbers of
arabs living in Palestine before the mandate. Palestine was given to Jews by
the British government in 1947 (or 1948) in return for financial support
during the war. It is true that they had made a near-desert into an oasis, but
the claims of the Palestinians still hold their ground.
They have about as good claims as the Jews have, their ancestors lived there
for several thousand years. So they should live in peace next to another, they
both have right to be there. But no country wanted the area before the Jews
made it rich and fertile.
