Claim
<p>Judea-Samaria are 22% of Mandatory Palestine. Israel has the other 78%</p>
Fact
<p>The Mandate started in the early 1920s. It included Judea, Samaria, Gaza, (even the Golan) and what now is Israel and Jordan. Jordan got 79% of the total Mandate area, when it became independent in 1946. The other 21% is Israel and Judea-Samaria. Based on the original Mandate, Judea-Samaria is about 4% of the Mandate area and Israel, 17%.</p> <p><strong>Better argument</strong>: At the begining of 1917 There was not a single independent country in the Middle East. Not Egypt, Saudi, Syria, Lebanon or Jordan or any other. It was under Turkish rule to this point. It was decided that 99% would be give to the Arabs and 1% given to the Jews. Today the world wants to divide that 1% and create yet another Arab country.</p>
