U.N. votes for partition of Palestine 1947

Beginning in 1929, Arabs and Jews openly fought in Palestine, and Britain attempted to limit Jewish immigration as a means of appeasing the Arabs. As a result of the Holocaust in Europe, many Jews illegally entered Palestine during World War II. Radical Jewish groups employed terrorism against British forces in Palestine, which they thought had betrayed the Zionist cause. At the end of World War II, in 1945, the United States took up the Zionist cause. Britain, unable to find a practical solution, referred the problem to the United Nations, which on November 29, 1947, voted to partition Palestine.

So on this day Muslims invaders chickens came home to roost.

Oh well.

Only reason the Brits were there is because the Ottoman Empire fell.

Then decided to pass the buck.

And this was the british Mandate of Palestine.

Of course Arab nations were having none of it.

Yeah, all that killing in the middle east, all us Brits fault.

Nothing to do with Jews and Muslims killing each other for the last 1500 years or so.
Nothing to do with Sunni's and Shia's killing each other for the last 1500 years or so.
Nothing to do with Muslims and Christians killing each other for the last 1500 years or so.
Nothing to do with people killing each other since time immemorial.

Got nothing to do with any of that, just those bastard Brits.
