Lol , ridiculous, you have been brain-washed by the fundies. "The British Mandate for Palestine: The Balfour Declaration - In November 1917, before Britain had conquered Jerusalem and the area to be known as Palestine, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration.... The declaration stated Britain's support for the creation of a Jewish national home in Palestine, without violating the civil and religious rights of the existing non- Jewish communities. The declaration was the result of lobbying by the small British Zionist movement...but it was motivated by British strategic considerations." "After the war, the League of Nations divided much of the Ottoman Empire into mandated territories...The British were anxious to keep Palestine away from the French" http://www.mideastweb.org/briefhistory.htm To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
