I will give you a figure of an equal representation of 6% ownership amongst the Palestinian people at the time of the British Mandate.
My point is, does a 6% ownership of said territory justify creating a country, that would be comprised of people who are not of the same continent, nor the same faith (if any faith at all), and have never lived there? The region is overwhelmingly Arab.
Along with these folks, come an economic, military, and cultural force that would de-stablize the region (which it has) and created hatred for those who support it, leading to something like September 11 th, the bombing of the US Cole, the truck bombing of our soldiers in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia?
The British were against it as was Henry Kissinger.
As I stated previously, it was a mistake to create a "Jewish" State in Palestine.
I hope that answers your question to your satisfaction.
