the palestinians fought WITH the British AGAINST the Axis forces. the "Isrealis" ( mostly Jews who had entered the country illegally staged terrorist attacks AGAINST the British, because they didn't support their Zionist movement enough to satisfy the Jews.
then when the war ended, the united nations decided to "partition" Palestine and give the larger half to the Jews....no matter that the Palestinians, their allies in the war, had been living there for over 2000 years, the Palestinians didn't have an organized worldwide propaganda machine in place to get people to feel sorry for them.
it may seem like i don't like the Jews, and that's not really true, no people should have to go through the opression and prejudice that they had to endure. What i don't like is how they've treated the Palestinians since...well, i was going to say 1948, but i guess it goes back a couple of thousand years before that...
Now they seem just like another (very vocal, violent) faction amid the unrest that's always existed in the middle east. One that we've tried to ally with, and that now seems to be a very, very poor ally
