Is the Middle-East problem no more than the UK been bust after WW1 and 'selling' the land to the higest bidder. What it has cost ever since! |
UK struck a deal with the devil in the
MIDST of the Great War.
1916...Zionists offered to get the losing Brits some help from the US if they could have Palestine be a destination for Jews. It wasn't even British property at the time!!
The Balfour Declaration 1917, offered the Jews a homeland there and also promised the Arabs that there would be no prejudice against their rights. But that proved impossible to enforce. The European Jewish emigrants to Palestine had no regard for their Arab neighbors.
But the Zionists did sucker the US into a war that had no bearing on America. That's another story however.
