It is amazing how well you know what would have happened if Palestine wouldn't have been taken from the Turks by the British, but rather say by the French (or maybe by the Americans?).

Do we have a literacy problem here? The fundamental difference between our reasoning is that mine is based on what actually happened rather than assumptions about what might have happened, which is strictly your area of expertise. It wasn't taken by the French (other than in your parallel universe) and it certainly wasn't taken by the Americans who had a very short and very limited military involvement in WW1 .

I'm surprised that you failed to mention Russia or Italy who also share in the honour of taking the region. Or the Fiji Islanders, who as far as I'm aware, didn't even participate in the war.

How we fools didn't we realize till now that without Great Britain and without the Balfour Declaration the Jewish People would have nothing to do in Palestine (their ancestral Homeland) from now till the end of the days? They could just keep on dreaming and praying to God for it!

- Just as they had been for the centuries leading up to WWI. Or do you deny that the state of Israel was formed in 1948 - not thousands of years ago as your revisionist history would attempt to sell us? -----------------------------------------------------------------

Or as the popular Hebrew adage says: "If my grandma had wheels….she would be a bus!"

- Therein lies your problem. I would assume that she has no wheels and therefore isn't a bus. You believe that it's possible for her to have wheels, therefore she must be a bus.

The rest of us would a) have to see proof of these wheels, and b) rule out the possibility that she might be a car, motorcycle, or other form of wheeled conveyance.
