But none of that is accurate. The UN never gave any land to the Jews. They don't have the power to do so. They accepted Israel as a member state and previously pitched a peace plan requiring partition that was rejected by the Arabs. The Jewish population in Palestine grew from 8% to 30% between 1900 and 1947. The Christians were never a majority. Muslims were. Nor we're Jews and Arabs such peaceful neighbors. Feel free to google massacres that occurred, general oppression, what a Dhimmi is and ethnic cleansing of Jews in Arab lands.
