Balderdash! The occupation/colonization of Palestine was a pre planned event. The Zionists recruited Britain's military to run cover for their colonization.RE: Annexing West Bank

Oh this is just so sad. But I have to be honest I can't give you a good summary on the causes of the Great War. Yes, everyone knows the trigger was the assassination of the (Austrian) Archduke Franz Ferdinand (and the Duchess of Hohenberg). But the causes of the Great War are not the key issue in this misinformation. All that immediately needs to be understood is that the Ottoman Empire (Central Powers) was engulfed in the war opposed by the Allied Powers. And the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire was the sovereign over the territory you characterize here as the subject of an "Unprovoked occupation/colonization."
(COMMENT)Unprovoked occupation/colonization is the initial aggression. The Palestinians have been defending themselves for a hundred years.
But make no mistake, the claim by the Arab Palestinians of today HAVE BEEN defending themselves for a century is → pure theater. The Allied Powers came into direct control of the Middle East as an outcome of the Great War and the Armistice of Mudros (1918). Under the Armistice (Clause XVI), documented the "surrender of all garrisons in Hedjaz, Assir, Yemen, Syria, and Mesopotamia to the nearest Allied Commander." It was then, that the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA) came into existence and included what became known as the territories to which the Mandate for Palestine applies, or just (short titled) "Palestine."
The Jewish immigration and the controlled close settlement by Jews on the land, was pursuant to the agreement between the Allied Powers to put into effect the Balfour Declaration.
(SUMMARY)
❖ The occupation was NOT "unprovoked." That is pure fantasy and pure misinformation for propaganda purposes.
❖ There was NO colonization. It was an effort → agreed upon by the Allied Powers → to facilitate Jewish immigration for all Jews who were willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish national home.

What if it was? So what? Let’s say you’re right. You know there is no turning back so why constantly whine and complain. That never achieves anything.
