Most Ashkenazi Jews originate from the Khazars of Medieval Times. They were an Eastern European Kingdom that converted to Judaism between 786 and 809. Go to www.Khazaria.com for more info. Sephardic Jews are descendants of Esau in The Bible, Jacob's brother. The term Jew has been corrupted and people now call themselves "Jewish." That's like saying Blackish or Whitish. The term Jew in ancient times was related to the ethnicity of a person. Ancient Jews were descendants of Judah in the Bible and dwelled in the Holy Land until they were kicked out in 70 A.D. by the Romans and Jerusalem was destroyed. Christ even predicted this event during his lifetime. Tacitus tells us in his account on the Jews that they fled into Africa. Ibn Battuta, a famous explorer, has written of Jews being spread across various tribes of North Africa during his time. They eventually spread into West Africa and established the Ghanaian, Malian, and Songhay Empires. After this golden age that is never really taught in public schools but well known by historians the Jews were sold as slaves in the Asciento, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This is also prophecied in the Bible and the prophecy cannot be applied to any other major group of people. Today the racial Jews are commonly known as African Americans but few acknowledge this, many deny it, and know one seems to thoroughly study West African history. They have been labeled as a Hamitic people by modern Christians even though they come from Semitic ancestry. I suggest that anyone reading this research what ive said and decide for yourselves. There is historical evidence!

The United States did not divide Palestine into a Jewish and Arab State; the United Nations did that. The United States was in support of the UN Resolution 181, but so was the Soviet Union.

The year that UN Resolution 181 passed was 1947.

The nation was divided into two kingdoms by Yerav'am ben Nevat (Jeroboam), a general in the Israelite army, in a power grab against the legitimate heir Rehav'am ben Shlomo (Rehoboam). Since Jeroboam was not able to bring all twelve tribes into allegiance and Rehoboam was not able to defeat Jeroboam, the Israelite Kingdom splintered in two.

The partition of Palestine was done by the United Nations in an attempt to prevent total chaos in the land as Great Britain withdrew. The partition lines were drawn so that Jewish majority land became Israel, while Arab majority lands were to become an Arab Palestinian state. Note that the Jewish land in what became Israel, as well as Jewish land on the other side of the line, was all bought and paid for with cash by the Jews living there. This was not stolen land. Questions about a historical Jewish claim to the land are not relevant to this question -- that claim is what led Jews to buy land in Palestine. Post partition and during the 1948 war, Jews were violently driven from the land they owned in what is now the West Bank, and Arabs were violently driven from land they had owned in what is now Israel.

Did Palestine become the country of Israel after the World War 2?

Yes and No. The Mandate of Palestine was merely the British Name for the land they occupied in the Southwestern Levantine region of the Middle East. There was no nation of Palestine or independent Governate of Palestine at any point in the prior 2000 years. When the Jewish population of the Mandate of Palestine declared independence, they used the name Israel to denote their country. The Arab residents of the British Mandate preferred to continue using the name Palestine to represent themselves. The majority of the Mandate's land ended up in Israeli hands in 1949, but some parts were under Arab control. It is these Arab areas that will likely form the basis of the Palestinian State.


How did the USSR react to the British mandate of Palestine?

The Soviet Union was opposed to the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine until after World War II, which is when Israel became independent. The Soviet Union actually saw the British Mandate in Palestine as an attempt by the British to create a sphere of influence in the Middle East and by allowing Jews to settle there, the British would transplant a Western-leaning, and relatively wealthy population in the Middle East. This would be disadvantageous to Soviet interests in the region. As a result, Stalin created Birobidzian Autonomous Jewish Oblast in southeast Siberia to be Jewish homeland in the Soviet Union. Understandably, it was not that successful since it was nowhere near the Jewish population centers.


What is the relation between Palestine and the United Nations?

It depends on what you are calling Palestine. If you are referring to the British Mandate for Palestine, as a mandate, the territory was subject to League of Nations final authority. The job of the British was to safeguard the territory on behalf of the League and to advance the modernization and independence of the territory in accordance with the provisions of the mandate. When the United Nations superseded the League of Nations, the United Nations became the final authority in adjudicating issues related to the Mandate. in 1947, the British decided to give the UN a voice in determining the future of the mandate. In UNGA Resolution 181 (II), the United Nations resolved to create two states: a Jewish State and an Arab State. This resolution sets up the groundwork and legal basis for the existence of two countries: Israel (the Jewish State) and Palestine (the Arab State). If you are referring to the current State of Palestine. It has unofficial recognition in the United Nations and has recognition in several UN organizations like UNESCO. Palestine continually pushes for increased recognition to have better leverage in determining its future vis-à-vis Israel.

What was the name of Israel before it was partitioned in 1947?

Before the Israeli declaration of independence in 1948, the land was the British Mandate of Palestine. The United Nations had decided to split Palestine into four zones, with two zones going to the Jews and two zones to the Palestinians, providing approximately half of the former Palestine to each. The Palestinian share was gradually reduced, until the UN defined a "Green Line", providing the Palestinians somewhat more than the 1967 borders.


When was Israel founded as a Jewish homeland?

The development of the concept of the Southwest Levant as the Jewish Homeland was a result of the Conference of San Remo (1920) and the Mandate for Palestine (1922). In the latter document, the British Mandate of Palestine was specifically designed to be the "Jewish National Homeland". When Israel declared independence in 1948, Israeli leaders argued that the creation of the Jewish State was in continuance of this previously determined concept.
