>The Palestinians clearly have been unhappy from the get go. It may simply be due to the giving of their homeland to another people whose religion and customs were different. If that's the crux of the problem, then there may be no solution. At the time, the UN/England/the US must have known that this was not going to go down well. The Arabs were very, very, very anti-semitic and still are. They supported Hitler during World War Two. Many of them still cite him today, such as Sheik Yassin, the head of Hamas. Jews were persecuted horribly in Arab countries; as bad as they were in Eastern Europe. Jews in many countries were forced to wear yellow badges to identify them (in some countries, Christians had to wear blue ones), they were taxed heavily, massacred, refused citizenship, placed in ghettoes... >It makes you wonder why they didn't offer the Jews West Virginia or Wales instead of Palestine. Because England was trying to divest itself of Palestine at the time, because they were emerging from colonialism. The Jews were given a choice by Britain actually- Uganda or Palestine and they decided they'd rather have Palestine, for obvious religious reasons. -Z
