Palestine in Southern Victory
Palestine was one of the areas under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, one of the victors of the Great War. It was perceived as a sleepy little backwater.

Palestine in The Two Georges
Palestine was one of the areas under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, a British Protectorate. It was perceived as a sleepy little backwater, with a British resident watching over the Turkish governor to make sure it would remain so.

Palestine in Worldwar
The people of Palestine, both Jews and Arabs, resented British imperial rule and rebelled when the Race's Conquest Fleet invaded. Without public support, British forces were unable to defend the Mandate, and under the Peace of Cairo it was ceded to the Race's Empire.

The Jews were content to live under the Race's benevolent rule, especially when they realized it was better than what their co-religionists were experiencing in Britain. Arabs were far more resistant to the Race, and frequently rebelled.

During the battle for Palestine, Moishe Russie was sent to Palestine by the British to appeal to anti-British Jewish rebels to lay down their arms by contrasting Britain's then-relatively benevolent treatment of Jews to Germany's horrific persecution, and also to describe the injustices which had led him to denounce the Race in Poland. This mission failed, and, despite his claims of preferring Britain to the Race, he remained with his family in Race-ruled Jerusalem, periodically traveling to Cairo to consult with Atvar.
