  • i’m mostly curious to know how the allies were able to carve “israel” out of palestine, which means i want to know what the conditions were like leading up to that decision.

    I cant give book recommendations exactly but it was with the balfour declaration, by former PM Arthur Balfour, Palestine was occupied by australian/british forces at the time after the Battle of Beersheba, in fact the Balfour gave the Zionists a “thumbs up” just two days after the Battle concluded. It was a bloody battle for the turks & germans and they basically left the region to be easily conquered. It came to be a very mythical event, allegedly fulling some bs from the bible. Most palestinians at the time werent too keen on the ottomans, and the Brits at first pretened to care about not upsetting the local population, especially since southern palestine, particularly gaza after the multiple battles there was devastated.

    So the Brits had military control over the region and then opened the “floodgates”, with the holocaust the question of Zionism vs civil rights was resolved in the obvious direction and the survivors could easily join in the already existing structures that facilitated the construction of israel. The second world war did not cause the creation of israel, it simply made it inevitable.
