They've got a good case. We were a large part of the decision to seize their land and give it away.
Yep, a flouncer. Possibly a sock puppet but definitely a flouncer.
When did we 'seize' the land, which wasn't actually theirs in the first place. My understanding is the UK was tasked with caretaking the area under a mandate by the League of Nations after WW1, it was part of the Turkish Ottoman empire for the previous 4 centuries.
When did we 'give it away', surely that was by vote for un resolution 181, a vote from which 'we' abstained.

Who do you think it belonged to?
The Balfour declaration was an offer to sell Palestine to the Zionist movement in return for war loans and to bring America into WW1 on the side of the allies.
This is according to the Rothchild archives below.
Origins in The First World War
Beginning in 1916, the British hoped that in exchange for their support of Zionism, “the Jews” would help to finance the growing expenses of the First World War, which was becoming increasingly burdensome. More importantly, policy-makers in the Foreign Office believed that Jews could be prevailed upon to persuade the United States to join the War. At this time, there were very strong pro-Zionist feelings by many of the political elite and establishment. Many of Britain’s leaders, including Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and Balfour himself, felt for the Jews and their history. These men were deeply religious Christian Zionists. They had grown up on the Bible; the Holy Land was their spiritual home. They believed that modern Zionism would fulfil a divine promise, and re-settle the Jews in the land of their ancient fathers
