Incorrect statement.Originally Posted by Spectic Tank
Gaza was conquered by the British in the Third Battle of Gaza in 1917 during WWI.
Gaza became part of the British Mandate of Palestine under the authority of the League of Nations, who required Britain to implement the Balfour Declaration establishing in Palestine a "national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing should be done which might prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine". Jews were present in Gaza from ancient times until the 1929 Palestine riots, when Arabs forced the Jews to leave Gaza.
How did Israel steal the territory before they were a country?
