Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt

The 1917 Balfour Declaration, 1919 Paris Peace Conference, and 1922 Declaration of Principles of the League of Nations recognized that the ancient land of Israel (which had come to be known as "Palestine") belonged to the Jewish people. It was set apart for them, and Great Britain was given the mandate to see that "Palestine" once again became the national homeland of the Jews who had been scattered worldwide.

Instead, to curry Arab favor because of their oil, Britain divided it, giving more than 70 percent to its protege, Emir Abdullah Hussein, when he was forced to leave the ancestral Hashemite domain in Arabia.That gift created the Hashemite kingdom of Transjordan, now known as Jordan. The Muslims immediately demolished every Jewish house of worship and expelled all Jews. This was months before the State of Israel was born. (One can count the demise of the British Empire, upon which "the sun never sank," from the the time it betrayed the Jews, as God had warned: "I will...curse him that curseth thee" [Genesis:12:3].) In UN Resolution 181, November 29, 1947, the nations joined to further divide the land. Israel received only 13 percent of what had been designated for the national Jewish homeland. Jews were pleased to get anything. The Arabs, however, wanted it all. They rioted and attacked Jewish settlements in a reign of terror.
