Abstract
"After World War II and the horrific Holocaust (where six million Jews were killed for being Jewish), a wave of sympathy by the British and the U.N. mandated that Palestine be turned into a Jewish state. Palestinians were rightly upset about losing their homes. They fought, were defeated, their homeland occupied by millions of 
European Jews. Fearing death, many Palestinians were forced to migrate. It was wrong what Israel did to the people of Palestine. The oppressed became the oppressors."
