It was Arab homeland too. The British didn't give you all of Palestine or any part of Transjordan, Lebanon, the Golan heights, Shayba farms, east Jerusalem or the West Bank. Other people lived there for thousands of years..
Let us play the game of whose homeland it is.
Jews made it their home in Arabia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and all over Europe, etc from before the destruction of the First Temple.
In other words, by your own thinking, the Jews, like any other people who migrated and lived anywhere in those lands, had every right to remain where they were because they had made where they were their homeland. They built their homes, their businesses, schools, synagogues. Did trade with others.
But wait, Jews decide to be sovereign over any part of their ancient homeland, where many Jews still lived, and some Christians and Muslims decide, because of their 2000 year old beliefs, that the Jews have given away their right to that land.
But wait again, it is ONLY JEWS, not any other indigenous people who can legally regain and rebuild their Nation on their ancient homelands, just as may First Nations in the USA have been doing.
Why only Jews do not have the right to have their ancient capital of Jerusalem, their ancient homelands of Judea and Samaria, the Golan?
You keep mentioning those areas because the Hashemites took those lands in the 1948 war, and not because it actually belonged to a people called Palestinians or the Hashemites.
The Hashemites made sure that for 19 years the other Arabs in those areas would have no control over it, would not even think of building their own State in that area, much less be free of the Hashemites and take over.
Why? Because most Muslims thought that all of the area was an Islamic conquered territory, so it did not matter who occupied or owned it, as long as it was in the hands of Muslims. Exactly as it was during all of centuries of Ottoman conquest.
Come up with something honest. Come up with who is actually Indigenous to the land and who really respects the other's civil, religious, and any other rights not only Jews but Muslims, Christians, Druze and all the other religions which live at the moment in Israel should be able to have.
Those right did not exist to Christians and others under Ottoman and Egyptian or Hashemite control of the territories.
As possibly a Christian you should care, but apparently do not, that Christians have had no rights under Muslim control, that they have been expelled from many of the countries Jews have been expelled, even from cities controlled by Muslims in Areas A and B of Judea and Samaria.
You do not care about the people who really need attention as to what is happening to them. That is quite an amazing world you do live in. Only Arabs matter, they took it, so not they own it.
But the question should be WHICH Arabs, which tribes.......as not all tribes are involved in the conquest of any of the Muslim conquered territories. It might as well still belong to the Ottomans.
You do realize that the Ottomans were a small number of Turks, and one could not possibly say that all the land the Ottomans conquered belonged to all of those living in Turkey?
