More history.....
After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in WW1, the British took control of Palestina. They issued a declaration that would give the Jewish people a homeland. The Arabs obviously were not happy with the non-Arab neighbours so they started attacking the Jews.
In 1936 a British commission recommended to divide the country into an Arab and Jewish region. The Arab's did not agree with this recommendation however the Jews did.
In 1947 the British could no longer manage to run Israel and they turned Israel over to the UN. The UN divided the country into 2 and once again the Arabs disagreed.
You could conclude that the Jews are in the right as they agreed to the partitioning of Israel 2 times, however to form a complete opinion about this subject you have to go back to where it all started.
Who were the first that lived there?
