[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] As far as I know, Israel was formed partly because of terrorism. When the UK was given control of Palestine, there was a steady influx of Jewish imigrants from Eastern Europe, Russia and later Germany. Part of the aggreement that resulted in the British administering Palestine said something about leading to the enventual creation of an Jewish homeland. This was in the twenties. This, and the fact that the immigrants wer buying up all the land, got the local Arab population's backs up. In the lead up to the second world war, many Jews tried to emmigrate to Palestine, but Britain enventualy put a stop to this by putting in place quatas for Jewish immigration to the area, and most of the Jews fleeing Nazi persecution were rounded up and put into detainment camps, or displaced person camps as they were knwon after the war. So this, and a number of other things lead to the Jewish population disliking the British rule. After WW two, and an Arab uprising (which was put down with the traditional British 'shoot at them until they are all dead' tactics of the 1940's), [i]and[/i] a series of terrorist attacks from both the Jewish and Arab populations, Britain eventualy got fed up and left, saying "Bollocks to the lot of you, we're leaving, so just blow each other up from now on". Which they promptly did for the next 60 years. [/QB][/QUOTE]
