Some of what you report below is true, such as the composition of Israeli lands prior to the apportionment. However, you're missing world-historical context during the 40's. Don't you remember someone called Hitler who was massacreing the Jews? The world wanted a place for the Jews where they could be safe. The Jews were all over the world as a result of the diaspora, which occurred as a result of their historical persecution and conquest by the Eqyptians, Babylonians, Romans, Assyrians, and you can name a host of others. So the area they were given was historically theirs millenia before the so-called Palestinians were ever in that part of the world. The Palestinians were never a nation anyway. Palestinians are mostly Lebonese.

Some of the things you post below are false, like the highest per capita Phds in the world. That's flat out B.S. Unless those Phds are awarded at Palestinian universities, then I'd believe it, because the standards of education are not as high as in the rest of the world. How many nobel prize winners do you know that come out of Palestine, unless they are Israeli?

Do you also know of the many times that the Israelis have been attacked unprovoked by the Egyptians, Lebanese, Iraqis etc? How many times has Israel had to defend itself against them? When will they be allowed to live in peace within their borders? Never, because the Arabs want to wipe them out or at least remove them from lands they claim are Arab, when in fact Israel has claims to it from millenia prior to the Arabs arriving in the region.
