Reading the posts about Palestine, it would be worthwhile noting that Palestine has never existed as a state. Until 1917, the area was part of the Otoman empire, for hundreds of years.
It was a largely uninhabited area, not particularly prosperous. There were prtobably as many Beduins and Christians inhabiting the area as Arabs, and also some Jewish communities.
Going back in history, until the times of the Bizantine Empire, one would find that there were also numerous Samaritan communities living there. A large number of Egyptians moved to Palestine in the mid 1800s and settled there, and Jews started moving there in the latter half of the 1800s in small numbers.
In 1917, the British Government decided to institute an area called Palestine for the Jews to move to and make into their own homeland, and which had nothing to do with taking away the rights of the people already living there.
This area called Palestine included present day Jordan. But a lot less Jews moved to Palestine than Westminster had reckoned, only thousands a year or little more. At some point in the 1920s or 30s, London separated a part of Jordan or Trans Jordan, from Palestine, but still leaving a sizable part of the eastern areas of the Jordan for Jewish settlement, as well as all of what now is the State of Israel and the West Bank and Gaza.
But there was such little interest on the part of the vast majority of Jews in the world in a Jewish homeland, that in 1938, because of the looming troubles that would lead to the Second World War, London imposed a limited number on Jews who could move to Palestine, which in the meantime only went as far as the river Jordan and no further. This was so as not to be unpopular with the Arabs in the event of a war (which soon later came about, namely WW2).
When the war broke out in Europe in 1939, the Jews were particularly stricken. But Britain had offered a homland on a golden plate to the Jews in 1917, and held the gates open for Jews to settle there until just before WW2, and this should never be forgotten, namely that no country tried to do so much for the Jewish people as Britain did!
