That's where Arafat started his campaign for a Palestinian state! Too bad it's more about their hatred of Israel than it is about providing homes.Deltahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01275501239477268530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20570989.post-91008453660797102752008-01-30T07:51:00.000-06:002008-01-30T07:51:00.000-06:00Palestine was the name of the region in the 1870s when this survey was made. Western Palestine was the area west of the Jordan River (today's Israel) and Eastern Palestine was the area east of the River (today's Jordan). The modern state of Israel was founded in 1948, and in the 1870s virtually no one dreamed of the re-establishment of a Jewish state where it had been destroyed 1800 years earlier.Todd Bolenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06156730661243501832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20570989.post-18889296444240441262008-01-30T01:12:00.000-06:002008-01-30T01:12:00.000-06:00Western Palestine?<BR/>Where is that?
