Watch the video for a summary of the conflict. The conflict in Palestine, like in Cyprus, was created by the British and their usual divide & rule practices. The only part I disagree is with the last part of the video about Israel's position. I think it is clear that if a Jewish state was to be created in Palestine that it should have been much smaller ... not more than 30% of Palestine. But the UN for no reason at all other than being influenced by the Anglo-Americans and the Jewish lobbies gave to the Jews the 50% of land... and then those same imperialists armed the Jews to help them take even more land!
