Infidel in his comment of Jan 15, 2007 23h25 to reply to Brian Jackson's comment says: "They allow Palestinians to live on land that was given to Jews in 1917, even though the Muslims stole the land from the Jews."

The Balfour Declaration was illegal because it was without the consent of the people of Palestine. The Muslims won the land in the Battle of Yarmouk from the Byzantine Empire in the Year 636CE, by winning over the army of Hyraclius, the Byzantine Provincial Ruler.
The UN Resolution of 1948 was illegal because it was based on illegal Balfour Declaration of 1915 which was without the consent of the people of Palestine.
The wars which ensued 1948 onwards to protect the people of Palestine against the European Invasion of Palestine from Cyprus which implanted a European Colony there & caused the invasion of land from Europe in the name of illegal "immigration" of Europeans to the Middle East. This resulted in the displacement of the Palestinian population illegally in breach of UN Charter.
At the end of the British Mandate under which Palestine was placed by the now defunct League of Nations at dismemberment of the Ottoman Khalifat in 1922 by Treaty of Versailles, should have been constituted by the following UN in 1948 as Republic of Palestine in which all endemic people of Palestine whether Muslims, Jews or Christians should have equal right to live there.
