> The British in no way armed or trained...

The British armed and trained tens of thousands of Jewish fighters in the Levant between 1936 and 1947. First the British used them to suppress and attack the indigenous population, and then a portion of them were used by the British during WWII.

It's not my fault you are ignorant of historical facts, but your ignorance doesn't effect whether they are true or not.

Further, your claim that the British had

> the plan was for the idea of a Jewish National Home to be wiped out forever

is likewise disproven by the facts. The opposite is actually true, as, from 1917 to 1947 the British harshly repressed all Palestinian attempts to build pre-state institutions, while encouraging the immigrant Jewish population they had imported to build exactly those types of institutions.

The evidence demonstrates, irrefutably, that the British greatly favored the imported Jewish population they had brought into the Levant over the indigenous population.

This book provides an excellent case for that position, with plenty of primary source references:

> It's ours because historically, Judea is the homeland of the Jews.

At least those that try to claim it belongs to Israel under Right of Conquest are citing an actual, if archaic and disavowed, principle of international law. Racial privilege has never had force of law, and still doesn't, and racists should stop pretending racial privilege is a legitimate argument.
