Nice, concise history. I hope you will repost that frequently.

Proposed borders for Jewish National Homeland, circa 1920:

The vast majority of the land was given to Arabs as Transjordan ("Arab Palestine").

The world seems to forget that Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Lebanon were created after WWI. They act like these nations have always existed as independent states.

It also seems to me that Saudi Arabia was probably not a state until early this century either.
