1. Why do the Jews believe that Israel is rightfully theirs?
The Romans sold it to them in 73 A.D.
The Palestinians signed an agreement with the British promising it to them
No one claimed it after the Ottoman empire broke up, so they claimed it as theirs.
They believe that it was promised to them by God through Abraham
2. How did the Arabs living in Palestine in the 1940's feel about the creation of the State of Israel?
They accepted it as necessary to protect the Jewish people.
They rejected it as unfair to themselves.
They felt it was okay as long as the British left the region
They had no opinion one way or the other.
