Palestine was occupied by the Islamic Ottoman Empire until after WW1….then the land was divided into 2 mandates…1 was supervised by Britain, who gave nearly 80% to the Jordanian Arabs in spite of the Balfour Declaration.The UN took oversight when Britain quit….Arabs were offered an equalsized State along with the offer to Israel for about 10% of what was “willed” to the Jews in the Balfour document.Israel said yes, but the Arabs said “NO” and 6 Arab armies attacked Israel on its Independence Day 1948.After retaining their alloted land, Israelis bought and paid for much of the plots owned by owners outside of Palestine, to begin resettling into their ancient Promised Land and buildingand planting and redeeming a Wasteland into the Flowering Desert it is today.At the same time in 1948 the Jews who had lived centuries in Arab lands were driven out and their properties confiscated by the Arabs. But the MSM never mentions the Jewish Refugees….*the UN settled the 1948 war…but every Arab war to drive out the Jews has been won by the Israeli military with the help of God in occasional miracles….I love how God saved Jerusalem in 1967…an Angel spoke to Arabs armed and planning to wipe out a Jewish outpost and told the Arab soldiers that Abraham opposed the Arab attackers, and the entire unit surrendured to the surprized Jewish soldiers!(I probably did not get this every word correctly, my memory is waning at age 80)…(As a Christian Zionist serving the God who is #1 Zionist, I dislike the false “history” so widespread today)
dt: why do you dislike the history YOU tell? Oh right, the guy sitting on the cloud rolling dice to make thunder told it to you while you were “tripping” on Metamucil.
