You have been brainwashed. The British called the country they mandated in 1917 "Palestine". The League of Nations called it "Palestine". The Arabs living there were referred to as Palestinian Arabs, the Jews living there were referred to as Jewish Palestinians, even by themselves. You are brainwashed and of low education. Map of the 1917 British Mandate called "Palestine" by the British, French, Jews, Arabs, and the Americans fo the time, later called "Palestine" by the League of Nations (UN) Look at the map redneck. Do you see Isreal written anywhere on there? http://tinyurl.com/kj6qe Get an education.
