Palestine is not a country. They refused the partition offered to them, so they lost out.
The Jews belong in Israel. It was taken from them in the first place.

After 6 million Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis, there was a lot of support for allowing the Jews to have a nation of their own. The logical place for it was in Palestine, which had already been declared to be a homeland for the Jews even before World War II, and which of course is the biblical home for the Jews. Palestine was then partitioned into Jewish and Arab sections, but the Arab states did not accept the partition, and most still do not. At the time Israel was founded, the US was not offering to allow any land in the US for Jews to found their own state, and it seems doubtful the US would do this even today. Of course, Jewish refugees from Europe could emigrate to the US, and many did, but in light of the Nazi history, there was no guarantee that Jews would be safe in any country. In light of Israel's history since that time, many people have questioned whether Jews in fact are safer having a country of their own, instead of moving to other countries, many of which are obviously very tolerant of Jews. Interestingly, more Jews than ever are even choosing to go back to Germany, which is quite tolerant of Jews today. But still, most Jews still feel that it is necessary for the Jews to have a country of their own, because they can never be sure that the US or Germany or any other country they might choose to live in, will continue to tolerate them. The sad thing is that most Arabs, who have numerous states of their own, still cannot tolerate the existence of a single Jewish state in their midst, and that has been true since Israel was founded in a much smaller portion of Palestine than it occupies today. As soon as the Arab states recognize the right of Israel to exist, the violence in the Middle East will stop.

We didn't establish Israel, the United Nations did. And America doesn't have nearly the space available that you think.
And if you want to talk about moving a people, Palestinians are really nothing more than Syrians, so why can't all the Palestinians just go back to Syria.
And no matter your thoughts about it, condoning Muslims attempts to exterminate the Jews is horrible, evil, and disgusting.

Jews have lived in a lot of lands that were not run by skill of Zionists. they have more suitable experience than the different team with residing as a minority. they did not have any difficulty with it till those international places persecuted, expelled, or exterminated them, which got here about in a lot of of those international places, for the only reason that they were Jewish. The rational answer for this difficulty replaced into to make certain achievable-free haven for Jews, the position they could be interior the final public, in possession of the technique of self protection, and by no skill concern to the whims of a adversarial majority. Now you assume Jews to leap on the prospect to grow to be area of yet another minority paradise? Counter question: assume, for the sake of the question, that you'll be able to be easily particular that you does not be concern to any oppression, persecution, or deprivation of rights of any style, and that you'll be an extremely equivalent citizen with proportional elected illustration. may you've a difficulty residing in a state with a Jewish majority? interior an similar way that Jews have lived as minorities in non-Jewish states with French, German, Polish, Ukrainian, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, White, Black, Asian, etc. majorities?

Maybe because that's where they came from. You know that wall they pray at? It's what's left of King Solomon of ISRAEL's temple.
It isn't Palestine, it's Judea.

Israelies wanted a country of their own. They don't want to be puppets of US OR UK.
