maybe you can contribute to Wikipedia with your vast knowledge? It's free you know.

Instead of complaining, make a difference..

Everybody should know what's on the next page of the Libertarian cookbook.. If you set the record straight, then you can debate those terms 'eh

OMOLIVES, Noted you don't dispute any of the factual content in Wikipedia. You wouldn't because, as any other credible source, most all of it is accurate. You disputed my contention that Israeli terrorism was a major factor in Britain, in the end, deserting the British Mandate .. https://www.britannica.com/place/Palestine/World-War-I-and-after .

Yes, Britain wanted out, but for you to deny the fact that Israeli terrorism was a factor in that is untenable:

The British Army in Palestine

In the aftermath of the Second World War (1939-45), the British Army found itself stuck in the middle of a growing conflict between Arabs and Jews in Palestine. The momentous events that followed led to the creation of the State of Israel.
[...]
Terrorism

The main terrorist groups were Irgun Zvai Leumi (National Military Organisation) - ultimately led by future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin - and an even more militant organisation, Lohamey Heruth Israel (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) or LHI.

The British called LHI the Stern Gang after its leader, Abraham Stern, who was killed in a clash with the Palestine Police in 1942. In November 1944, LHI assassinated the British Minister for the Middle East, Lord Moyne.

You might agree it would have been better to have satisfied the Zionist desire for a Jewish homeland in just about any
other .. https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/ten-jewish-homelands-outside-palestine/ .. place outside of Palestine.

I wonder how Americans would have reacted if the decision had been made to create Israel in the USA.
