Transjordan was a poor, desert backwater of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman were very happy the Jews were willing to immigrate and actually PAY the landlords to buy the area. The Jews made the desert bloom through hard work and good planning while the Arabs/Muslims ran goats that destroyed the vegetation.lol it belonged to the Ottomans, who in turn invited all those 'Zionists' in with open arms.
