trying to read about history of Palestine, and Gaza - I see that British are as responsible to the current result reached >>> quote < following World War II and the Holocaust, the British Government announced their desire to terminate the Mandate, and the United Nations General Assembly voted to partition the territory. The Arabs rejected the UN partition plan, and a civil war began immediately, with the State of Israel declared independent in May 1948. The 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were driven from their homes were unable to return following the Lausanne Conference, 1949.[citation needed] During and after the 1948 war, a wave of Jewish refugees from Arab countries arrived, further complicating the demographic situation.> Now I understand that it is not strange at all, the silent votes by many European countries with the rejection of USA to UN declaration - recently .... so so sad en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Palestine
