Neither state was really called "Palestine" as if it were a specific nation - the entire region was called Palestine. The Israel newspaper <I>The Jerusalem Post</I> was founded in the 1930's as "The Jerusalem Post". <BR/><BR/>In fact at the time war broke out in 1948, the Arab side was mostly controlled by the armies of the Trans-Jordan, later Jordan. They controlled what is today the Western Bank until 1967 - never during which was there a cry for a "Palestinian" homeland.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232209481041145155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27046650.post-39803817555554944922009-01-20T02:19:00.000-06:002009-01-20T02:19:00.000-06:00Just a little historical note: yes, the indigenous...Just a little historical note: yes, the indigenous people of Palestine have always had an occupying force. The British did make a promise to the Palestinian Arabs that they would give them an independent state, but they reneged on the deal. Later the UN divided the land into two states, one to be Israel and one to be Palestine, the latter yet to be truly realized. (Just the historian in me speaking!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
