Just to put my two cent in again, there is a misconception that the
Jewish people took over part of an Arab state after the holocaust.
This is not supported by the facts. There were Jews living in (what
was then called Palestine controlled by the British and encompassed
what is today Israel AND Jordan). In fact, the Jewish people were
promised all of Palestine by the British. This was reneged upon and
most of "Palestine" (what is now Jordan) was given to an Arab prince.
So, instead of all of Palestine, the Jews were given (and even that's
a bad choice of words...it'd be like saying the American goverment is
giving the reservation land to the Native Americans) a smaller section
of what had traditionally been their homeland.
