The area of the Ottoman empire known as Palestine is now
presently 2006 divided. Becoming the British mandate under the League of Nations
it was divided in 1922. In that year 77% of the mandates land mass was carved
out & given to the Arabs -- Palestinians to have as & for their own land
& country. Today this area is know as Jordan. The remainder of the lands
were intended by the mandate & league to be & become a homeland for
the Jews. The Jews were then & always quite agreeable to the Arabs having
there own nation on part of the land ( mandated lands). The remainder of
Palestine was intended as a homeland for the Jews. the purpose for creating (
then called transjordan was to," establish a Jewish national home land west of
the Jordan river & a separate Palestine entity in the Palestine east of the
Jordan River. I note as an aside Winston Churchill often spoke & wrote
of these purposes.
