“we have taken their country”—- There has never been a Country of Palestine. The geographical area of Palestine has been in many hands over the centuries– Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Berbers, Arabs, Ottoman Turks for 400 years, and then the British Mandate of Palestine, in which both Jews and Arabs used the British Passport Palestine for travel and identification, because they did not have a Country of their own. —– Hence the Partition Resolution, an opportunity to build two independent nations. Arabs chose war instead and they lost.
