Poonte it was not USA but England that had a crucial role in creation of Palestine. But this issue dates back to the biblical times between Judea and Samarrrea. This is not something that just evolved in the last century. The Zionist movement as we know it today did not even come about till the mid 20th century. And it originated from EUROPE and NOT ISRAEL(or Palestine as it was called then). The population of Palestine shot up from 403,000 to 68300 by the end of 1st world war. and most of them were members of Zionist movement from Europe. I see a parrallel between Tibet and China in a similar pattern. They way China declared Tibet part of China in the 50's.
