So many people get David and Goliath wrong though.
David wasn’t some scrawny little kid. He was fuckin huge. He grew up fighting bears and lions with his bare hands, and was extremely well trained with his sling.
And after he killed Goliath, he wielded his sword and wore his armor, which were extremely heavy. Goliaths armor is directly stated to weigh 5,000 shekels which would be around 127lbs. The spear Goliath wielded had a tip that weighed 15 pounds alone.
The UK literally created Israel.
After WWI the Brits controlled the area under mandate in the Treaty of Versailles. In 1917 the UK issued the Balfour Declaration pledging support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
Post WWI, the Brits sponsored heavy Jewish immigration into Palestine. After WWII, they explicitly supported Israeli independence.
