Bark, if you Europeans refrained from trying to exterminate the entire race of Jews from the planet in the 1930's and 40's, then the allied nations who were victorious in WWII would not have seen the need to create a Jewish state. I'm sure the Jews would have been happy going on about their lives in Germany, Poland, etc. and not being uprooted. Sure, the Palestinians got hosed on that, but didn't Britain control Palestine at the time. What is Britain's responsibilty. Please, before you answer, remember that Briatain was one of the few European nations that did not participate in the extermination of the Jews.
