Wouldn't that be true of Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon as well? Yes and all of these Arab states were created out of the Ottoman Empire, along with the area known as the Palestinian Mandate being set aside as a Jewish homeland.;

Funny thing, oil and the wealth associated with it got in the way of all of the Palestinian Mandate becoming the nation of Israel.;

Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia had Saudi Princes placed at their heads.;

Trans-Jordan was created by the British, in disregard of the League of Nations and the Balfour Agreement. This occupied two thirds of the Palestinian Mandate (meant for a Jewish Homeland) and became the first Palestinian Arab state. A Saudi Prince was placed in control of this new nation. Prior to this the Jews were then promised that if they would move west across the Jordan,from the areas they had settled between the late 19th century and early 20th century, that what remained of the Palestinian Mandate, including what has become known as the West Bank would be reserved for them as a homeland.;

Then the Arab states, so created, started badgering Great Britain to not allow Jews to ever control any of the Muslim land. Jews from the middle of the 19th century until 1948 had paid dearly for land (at very high prices), in order to move back into the vacated area (Ottoman controlled) Palestine. The land had been stripped bare by its absentee Muslim landlords (Ottoman Empire). Read Innocents Abroad by Samuel Clemons for a description;

So, prior to WWI all of the Arab states did not exist. They were part of the Caliph run by Turkey. Of course the Turks had destroyed their own group with a claim to land in Turkey (the Armenians).;

Strange the West can't see the destruction of the Armenians in the same light as the attempt to destroy the Jews. After all the Armenians were Christian and could not exist in a Muslim state. So the solution was to destroy them. Now we see the same attitude by Muslim states toward Israel. All land previously conquered by Islam, must be returned to Islam. All land not previously conquered by Islam is up for grabs and should be conquered and subjugated.
