Actually Pedro 2 the Palestinians were given a chance before Israel came to be, it was called trans-Jordan and they still caused tremendous problems for everyone including the Brits and the Jordanians who finally nixed that deal. Not to benefit the Jews but to stop the killing of British soldiers and Moslems who tried to give them a land of their own following the Ottomans who also really hated the Palestinians as well.
