You did a pretty good job of explaining why they wanted to go to
Palestine. You just never explained how they got the right to.

The allied leaders at the time simply had such a low regard for the
people who lived there that they had no reason to stop them.
If they went to Central Africa, South America or anywhere else with
brown people, they would have felt the same.

What an interesting take. The "allied leaders" didn't much care for the
Jews, either, since, even when Germany was slaughtering them, they
weren't allow to enter the allied countries in substantial numbers.

So, is what you are claiming similar to what has been said about the
United States, that we are a nation founded and built on the decimation
of one people, the "Indians," and the enslavement of another, the "blacks"?

Yeah pretty much.

Your hero FDR was racist and antisemitic, as was Churchill, de Gaulle
and Stalin.
It seemed like the perfect solution to let the displaced European Jews
invade and occupy a land owned by Arabs.

I'm sorry, Gregg, but I didn't know FDR. I know quite a bit about him
from reading and seeing historical depictions of his life, and I do
admire a lot of what he did for America and for the common man. But he's
not one of my heroes.

No offense, but with all the negative comments you've made about Jews
and Israel, it seems like the racist, anti-Semitic types are more likely
to be in your Closet of Heroes.

And once again, the "land" you claim was "owned by the Arabs" has spent
more time in more different beds than the average male hooker at a
Republican political convention. Lots of peoples and lots of countries
have "owned" that land temporarily.

I don't fault the Jews who survived the holocaust and emigrated to
Israel after WW II. Why would they ever want to put their faith again
into the hands of the peoples who sold them down the river for the
previous 2000 years? If the Jews have learned anything, it is "Don't
Trust Gentiles."

Oh, and the European Jews weren't "let" into the position of occupying
Israel. The Brits and allies of the Brits kept most of them out for
years, before our involvement in WW II and after. After the war, Israeli
paramilitary and terrorist groups convinced the Brits it was time for
them to leave, and then four or five neighboring Arab nations initiated
a war against the new state.
