Richard ~ Think I have contrived to make a little sense of your last somewhat convoluted & elliptical reply; tho don't see where Princess Anne comes into it, or contrive to raise any interest in your Royalty-based fantasies.

But your "trying" ~~ they had been , not 'trying', but succeeding in large numbers, in returning for 70 years before 1947, networking the whole country with several hundred farming settlements and co-operatives of various kinds, + at least three or four major cities with Jewish-settlement majority populations ~ apart fom Jerusalem which has been recognised throughout as a special case. During these years had occurred Herzl's publication, the Balfour Declaration... What can you possibly mean by "trying to return in 1947", as if this was a sudden opportunistic whim growing spontaneously out of a UN resolution - other than that you are pontificating away in complete & blissful ignorance as to what situation actually obtained in 1947?
