    Good point. Would further negate Rory's point that the Palestine situation of today is detached from the meddling of Great Powers in the region pre-1950.
    As rory's next post says, much of Europe underwent far worse destruction and suffering than the middle east has experienced since Balfour. Even the UK, the least affected of the combatant countries in WW2, had an enforced East London rebuilding programme courtesy of the Luftwaffe. When you agitate for independence, which the Palestinians did (Muslims and Jews alike), and you gain it, you take responsibility for what comes after. The Palestinians got what they demanded. For many of them, it turned out not to be what they really wanted, but that's not the fault of their previous masters. It's not like the British conducted a genocide on them prior to leaving. They wanted the British out of there so they wouldn't get in the way of fighting it out between themselves. They got what they demanded.
