Shalom Haver LBM,
Your reference to "England" (actually the United Kingdom) owning Palestine and 'giving' it for the establishment of Israel shows little understanding of the situation and obligations under the League of Nations Mandate. It's also worth mentioning that the United Kingdom (Great Britain) ABSTAINED on the UN partition resolution (UNGA 181). As to the nature and character of Palestine in the 1930s, I commend a reading of the Hope-Simpson Report:

I remain a fellow wisher for Peace and Justice in that troubled land.
Salaam/Shalom
