Also, to say that Muslims had no part to play in WW2 (or WWI for that matter) you might want to check your history chief. You can start with the Ottoman's in WWI and move your way into WWII and the formation of the Bathe party and their influence by the Nazi's. As well as the movement for a new Arab Union that would have included the middle east, and northern Africa.

The point is, you can't just move into a land where Muslims have been living for the past 700 years and say "We are god's chosen people, get the fuck out or we will kill you" which is basically what happened, making jerusalem an international city will be a good start. You're right it was a british mandate but it was part of our empire so we basically just claimed the land.
no justice, no peace. though you are right about the ottomans
