How can land on another continent be 'owned' by Britain?
Are you saying they had a colony there?

 

[Glam.Queen]

The Jews originally resided in what is now southern Lebanon.

 

[Webster R]

no

the idea of zionism was created by theodor herzl, and he simply wanted a home for the jews so that anti-semitism would be abolished. He didn't care where it would be and in fact he thought it should be in Uganda.

Israel was given to the jews as reparations for WWII from the british, but please keep in mind that the Land That is Now Israel has always had jews living in it.

 

[sweet but sour]

it was under british mandate
like india, hong kong, america were in the past.

[harajuku.romance]

dude seriously..you lived in israel right? you should know better than this

The land was awarded to britain to administer after ww1 and the defeat of the ottoman empire..It wasnt like india, HK or america in any way...it wasnt a colony...the brits were simply managing the land....it was theirs, but not a colony..

 

[Foxie3436]

what?

 

[Shawanna W]

The land was part of the ottoman empire pre WW1...they lost...the brits got control of that land and other parts of the area..along with france..
