16. What do you think that "British-controlled land" was?

Empires and colonizers have always felt entitled to carve up land and resources with no regard to the people living there who rightfully own those lands and resources. See Sykes-Picot, Balfour Declaration, British Mandate.

Interesting fact is that the land was still part of the Ottoman Empire while other imperial powers and Lord Balfour already carved it up or gave it away.

The imperial "granting" of another people's homeland by force and without consultation, to a favoured group who would then become settlers, was a favoured tool of colonization. It was in fact the cornerstone of Israel's formation.

Rejection "6 times", starting in the '30's? The partition plan proposed by the Peel Commission was rejected outright by the 1937 Zionist Congress and later by the British government itself as unworkable. That Palestinians get the sole blame again is not surprising.

As for the other 5 times? Only Palestinians are expected to settle for less than half their original homeland, then 22%, and then eventually, maybe 5-10% at most while also being denied their right of return. The cherry on top is the history of being ethnically cleansed twice (third time now a real possibility), brutalized, dispossessed and occupied. Now Gaza...

It all seems fair and just. No, not really.
