The (Once) Great Britain and France and the United States and ... and... the Soviet Union ... and Spain ... and the Dutch ... and ... (O)GB used to be an empire, see, and those folks got themselves spread all around the globe. Then these upstarts (who later became Americans) kicked their Nancy patooies out. Then they eventually lost India/Pakistan and the Middle East, from where you question stems in that the land the once controlled eventually became the countries (albeit artificially demarked) we know as Syria (Fr), Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and all the rest. And, in amongst all of this, Israel sprang into being. The unfortunate thing is all of this is following the Britlandic paradigm of empire, one that we can all see didn't work in the long run.
