Actually the deal on the table in 1947 was the two-state solution proposed by the United Nations - nothing whatsoever to do with your favourite cartoon baddies (The Brits) at all. The Jewish population of the Mandated Territory of Palestine accepted it but the Arab population of the Mandated Territory of Palestine rejected it and opted to go to war instead - they lost. As the Arabs of Palestine did not accept the 1947 borders as proposed there have never been any established two-state boundaries so all the crap about Jews stealing land is just that - CRAP.

By the way if any have right to the land due to occupation over millenia then that would be the Jews.

If the Arabs of Palestine especially those represented by Hamas in Gaza think that it is OK to take and hold land by conquest then Christmas old son what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
