"The British, under the League of Nations, spit off from the Mandate Palestine the designated Jewish Homeland, all territories east of the jordan river ( 76% of the area) and established the Arab Palestinian homeland of Transjordan. All Jewish immigration there was prohibited."

Question:
By whom was it prohibited and for what reason? Clear this up please.

Answer:
In the early 1920's, the self styled Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Tosser Arafats uncle, concerned about Jewish immigration, deliberately spread lies about Jewish attacks on Arabs and stories about Jewish massacres of Arabs - total fabrication, not one shread of truth in any of it, not even a single Arab with a broken eyelash as a result of any "Jewish attack". He got the response he wanted and the Arabs rose up and attacked the Jews.

In the immediate aftermath of this mayhem, that he, and he alone, had caused, he managed to persuade the British Governor/Administrator, that he was the only person who could control the situation as far as the Arabs went (He wasn't lying, he'd just proved he could turn them on and off like a tap).

The same thing happened again in 1929. This time Arafats uncle's part in the play was a not so subtle and he had to run for it. So the British decided that the two sides had to be seperated. They did not move people off their land they did not disposess anyone. The part of the Palestinian Mandated Territory to the West of the Jordan was to be the area reserved for the "Jewish Homeland", here Jews could come to and settle, here the Jews could set up shop, buy property. To the east of the Jordan, or Trans-Jordan was the area strictly reserved for the Arab tribes of the area. No Jew could settle there and no Jew could buy/own property there. Also please note the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the subsequent Balfour Declaration talked of a "Jewish Homeland", not a "Jewish State", the two are very different.

As 1947 approached and the old League of Nations Mandate was due to expire, Britain gave notice that they were going to withdraw from the area, the newly formed United Nations proposed boundaries to divide the communities. The Jews accepted this proposal, the Arabs did not, opting instead for a military solution to the problem - first mention of "driving the Jews into the sea". The Arabs attacked and lost and the State of Israel was declared and recognised by the United Nations, national boundaries and all. That was in 1948, the Arabs signed a ceasefire brokered by the UN, they had no intention of keeping to the terms of it. In 1956 the Arabs under Gamal Abul Nasser of Egypt tried again and lost. This resulted in another UN brokered ceasefire where no Arab land was taken, but the Sinia was to become a demilitarised zone. In 1967 Egypt, Syria and latterly Jordan brushed aside the UN monitors in the area (UN response was to do nothing about this) and camped their armies on Israel's borders issuing the gravest threats regarding Israel and its population - at the time no-one thought that the Israeli's stood a chance. The end result of this was what was known as the "Six Day War", again the Arabs lost spectacularly, this time the Israeli's did take land, they took the land from which on three previous occasions Arabs had launched attacks on their state. After the UN brokered ceasefire the Israeli's said, "You want your land back, you openly and officially recognise our right of existence and respect our sovereignty." Some countries did (Egypt and Jordan) Syria did not. Within the area of Palestine certain groups did not accept and groups such as the PLO, Fatah and latterly Hamas and Hezbollah sprung up backed by Gadafi in Libya, Saddam Hussein in Iraq and by Iran.
