Actually, Temyn8or, many of the Jewish areas of modern day Israel were already legally purchased property by the Jewish National Fund. It did not belong to the Palestinians, as a matter of fact, in 1948 there were no people called Palestinians, it was an adjective attributed to anyone who lived in the region. And the territory was mandated to Britain, which then returned it to the UN. Another convinient fact the left chooses to ignore is that the whole of historic Palestine is actually comprised of modern day Jordan, Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza. In 1923 the British divided Palestine to accomodate both populations, the eastern half, which became Transjordan, was to be Arabic, and the western half Jewish, which kept the name Palestine. So in fact, a nation for Arabs residing in Palestine was already created in 1923.
