> christians didn't like muslim encroachment. why is it okay if it's jewish? what are you talking about? the decision to give israel to the jews was very much a pragmatic decision. they had just finished being massacred in europe and those who gave a shit about the slaughter needed a place to put them where they could develop their own nation and not worry too much about extermination. since the jews came from israel... israel made sense, especially considering the fact that britain already held the land in mandate. it actually had very little religious motivation behind it -- it was literally just because of jewish cultural ties to the land and pure convenience.
