Prior to the Mandate in 1922, Palestine’s Arab population had been declining. Afterward, Arabs began to come from all the surrounding countries. In addition, the Arab population grew exponentially as Jewish settlers improved the quality of health conditions in Palestine. The decision to partition Palestine was not determined solely by demographics; it was based on the conclusion that the territorial claims of Jews and Arabs were irreconcilable, and that the most logical compromise was the creation of two states. Ironically, that same year, 1947, the Arab members of the United Nations supported the partition of the Indian sub-continent and the creation of the new, predominantly Muslim state of Pakistan.<font color=black> <font color=gray>http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/myths/mf3.html#e<font color=black> <font color=blue> You wrote:"What if a Jew converts and becomes a Christian does he/she then renounce his claim to the land?"<font color=black> He can if he wants to.
