Quote by: US Independent  Did you read my previous posts? Apparently not. So here it is again:
Here is an paragraph from Wikipedia, this same information was in three of my books, two online encyclopedias, the World Book Encyclopedia, and the Encyclopedia Britannica:
The Jewish state was to receive 55% of Mandatory Palestine. In the north, this area included three fertile lowland plains -- the Sharon on the coast, the Jezreel Valley and the upper Jordan Valley. All three were extremely fertile in 1947, but were largely uninhabitable before 1900 due to silting caused by deforestation.
The bulk of the proposed Jewish State's territory, however, consisted of the Negev Desert. The desert was not suitable for agriculture, nor for urban development at that time. The land allocated to the Jewish state was largely made up of areas in which there was a significant Jewish population.
Areas that were sparsely populated (like the Negev), were included in the Jewish state to create room for immigration in order to relieve the "Jewish Problem". |
And just who were they to "receive 55% of Mandatory Palestine" from?? The people that lived there, or someone else? If the UN or someone else decides that, to make amends to Native Americans, YOUR land is to be given back to them are you going to peacefully agree? Should the rights of some people be denied because a "significant" number of others think it's a good idea??
