"Palestine" (name derivation = Biblical "Philistine") was established as a British protectorate from the date it was gifted to Lord Rothschild (Nov 2, 1917) as a bounty for his diplomatic help in mustering efforts of fellow Zionists in getting the US to support with men and treasure the UK and France against Germany in WWI. It was a region previously known as Judea managed by Britain, with the blessings of The League of Nations (to which the US did not belong). It was not a country in its own right. Henry Cabot Lodge wrote a short, now de-classified piece in 1956 about how the World Zionist Organization set the stage for establishing an eventual State of Israel controlled by Zionists. https://files.catbox.moe/6wwkqo.jpeg
