1920 - Original territory assigned to the Jewish National Home

1922 - Final territory assigned to the Jewish National Home

The world's response? The 1948 partition!

I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land. (Joel 3:2)

Those maps are misleading. They give the impression that they represent the borders assigned to a Jewish homeland. That is incorrect. They show the borders of the British Mandate for Palestine in 1918 (the first map) and in 1922 (the second map) after the British split the zone into two administrative areas (Palestine and Trans-Jordan).

The putative Jewish National Home was to be created somewhere WITHIN those maps but the frontiers of it were never defined in either 1920 or 1922.
