[quote=Anonymous]FACT: According to a British census in 1864, Jews constituted a majority of the population of Jerusalem.  An Ottoman census in 1905 showed Jews represented two-thirds of the Jerusalem population.

FACT: In 1917, the British Government declared that they favored the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine (Balfour Declaration).

FACT: In 1936, the British government established a Royal Commission, known as The Peel Commission, to investigate the unrest between Arabs and Jews in Palestine.  A report was issued in 1937 that recommended a partition of the land between Arabs and Jews. The report, after being accepted by the British Government, was rejected by the Arabs.

FACT: In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recommending the partition of Palestine into to two states, one Jewish and one Arab with Jerusalem to be governed by an international regime. It was accepted by the Jewish side, but not by the Arabs. The Arabs immediately launched a war of annihilation against the Jewish state.

FACT: Between 1948 and 1972, 800,000 Jews were forced to leave Arab and Muslim countries.  Approximately 600,000 of those Jews emigrated to Israel.

FACT: During the British Mandate, Jews were known as Palestinian Jews. The flag of Palestine had a Star of David on it.

"It is inaccurate to say the Jews just took over or stole Arab land. In addition to land owned by Jews already living in Palestine, there were substantial land purchases made by the Jewish National Fund, the Palestine Land Development Company and the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association between the late 1880s and 1930s.  Most of the land purchases were made in the Jezreel Valley, Jordan Valley and Galilee where the Arab population was sparse, and soil was poor.  At the time of the UN partition vote in 1947 most of the land not already owned by Jews was public land, not privately-owned land.  Very little of the land was privately owned by Arabs."
