Again let's compare it to the UN forcing the US to surrender large swaths of land to the Native Americans. And then when we complain the UN argues that there was enough room for the two peoples, and that we should welcome a two state solution and just choose to live under their authority. I think most of us would have a problem with that too bro.

This is stupid. The analogy doesn't work.

You ignore the FACT that Jews never stopped living in the region called Palestine. Yes many were carted off to other lands after the Roman diaspora but many Jews still remained. So when the UN partitioned the land they partitioned the land based on where Jews were settled and where Arabs were settled. Palestine was partially Jewish to begin with. You act as if there wasn't a single Jew before 1948 then all of the sudden here they come with their bulldozers. Good grief!

Israel makes up 1% of the land mass that Arabs reside on---why do they have to have 100% of the land, what is so important about that 1% that their Arab brothers couldn't become a part of these Arab nations surrounding them? Their own brethren wont even hep them. They are oil rich and wealthy and they have to depend on Western handouts to help them.
