   From 1517 to 1917, what is today Israel, along with much of the Middle East, was ruled by the Ottoman Empire. This territory has gone through many different rulers and inhabitants. The jews didn’t rob and kill to get it. But World War I dramatically altered the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East. In 1917, at the height of the war, British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour submitted a letter of intent supporting the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The British government hoped that the formal declaration—known thereafter as the Balfour Declaration—would encourage support for the Allies in World War I.

   When World War I ended in 1918 with an Allied victory, the 400-year Ottoman Empire rule ended, and Great Britain took control over what became known as Palestine (modern-day Israel, Palestine and Jordan).

   The Balfour Declaration and the British mandate over Palestine were approved by the League of Nations in 1922. Arabs vehemently opposed the Balfour Declaration, concerned that a Jewish homeland would mean the subjugation of Arab Palestinians.

   The British controlled Palestine until Israel, in the years following the end of World War II, became an independent state in 1947.

   I have to give you props, you are very consistent in your generalizations of Republicans, and the hatred you have for them. It’s quite sad.

   Tell that to all the commenters on the Al Godwin strip today, they were sticking up for the way Mr. Fetterman dresses.
