Palestine’s search for statehood

Palestine’s search for statehood | Opinion | DAWN.COM

It will come, eventually as more and more countries are recognising Palestine. let's face it,Palestine was a country long before Israel!!
It became a British Protectorate after the break up of the Ottoman Empire and at the turn of the 20th century Jewish people round the World asked for a home land. British Prime Minister, Balfour annexed part of Palestine for them to co exist there. But it just was not good enough until the Germans sent boat loads of them there in the build up to WW2 They came round to thinking that it might not be too bad after all and settled.
Britain, however, was still in charge. At the end of WW2 the Irgun terrorists or freedom fighters depending on how you view them shot British soldiers and carried out a bombing campaign. The worst atrocity was the bombing of the king David hotel in Jerusalem where most of the British officers and officials stayed.
David Ben Gurion and co eventually got there way and Israel was born.
