Now they all exist and Palestine doesn't yet.<br/><br/>You will read that there never was a Palestine from a certain quarter and how can you miss what you never had. How you know they are lying! They'll say that as they are all Arabs that there's enough room for them all. It's like saying that the Scots Welsh and Irish are all Celts and one state would do them all! Yes, there was a time when such thinking was regarded as valid. If we had the Age of Imperialism back then the Brits might validly have a claim on the USA and most of the rest of the world.<br/><br/>In the present imperialism, if the existent holder of the gunboat diplomacy role, the USA, decided to sort out Palestine's present difficulties it could in a breath. Hopefully in a more honourable fashion that the last gunboat holder did.<br/><br/> <br><div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"><div style="background-color:"><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Mandate_of_Palestine&oldid=223547454" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Mandate_of_Palestine&oldid=223547454">en.wikipedia.org</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">Mandate of Palestine</div></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;">was a <A title="League of Nations Mandate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Nations_Mandate">League of Nations Mandate</A> created after the <A title="First World War" class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_World_War">First World War</A> when the <A title="Ottoman Empire" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire">Ottoman Empire</A> was split up by the <A title="Treaty of Sèvres" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_S%C3%A8vres">Treaty of Sèvres</A>.</div></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Palestine-Mandate-Ensign-1927-1948.svg&oldid=123341654" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Palestine-Mandate-Ensign-1927-1948.svg&oldid=123341654">en.wikipedia.org</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/righthand/512/E32CBA19-D0AA-4B0A-8C5D-FA2BDD2F2E64.png" alt="Image:Palestine-Mandate-Ensign-1927-1948.svg" /><br /></div><div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;">Clip Source: <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Mandate_of_Palestine&oldid=223547454" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=British_Mandate_of_Palestine&oldid=223547454">en.wikipedia.org</a></span></div><div style="padding: 10px;"><img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/righthand/512/F5AFA3F3-0A3E-40D5-B74D-2674EB0C8FDC.png" alt="Location of Palestine" /><br /></div><hr size="2" color="#666666" /><div style="padding: 10px;"><div style="text-align:left;"><SMALL>The approximate borders of the British Mandate circa 1922.
