Since Islam is a religion of Peace why can't the Islamic Countries give the Palestine people some of their vast empty land and leave Israel alone?

That simply would not resolve the conflict. Jews, especially the orthodox variety that have considerable clout in the Israeli government, see the land in which they currently inhabit as divinely mandated for them. To violate this premise is to violate Jewish identity.
Secondly, it behooves us to maintain the Jewish state at its current location in the Middle East. It is, after all, the only true democracy in the region, and by extension then our only voice in a region of the world that is suffocated by religious tyranny. If the Jews fall in the region so goes our influence.
Thirdly, to move a group that large to the United States would be a logistical nightmare. We are already experiencing anti-immigrant sentiments due to the influx of illegal aliens from Mexico. Adding a refugee population to an already overburdened welfare state is to incite public backlash against this government.
Finally, even if the move were possible, and the Jews were collectively to assent to the proposition, it would signal to the Muslims that western powers have capitulated. This would embolden them more than any other victory they have experienced. As a result, a dangerous precedent would be set, that might even give Muslim theocracies inkling that global domination is possible with guerilla warfare and terrorism.
The Jews have every right to the land they are currently on. They have been more than amicable given the animosity that surrounds them. To ask for any other alternative than the defense of the Jewish state to exist where it is, is to do a disservice to the Jewish people, and to bolster the confidence of our enemies.

The Jews are allowed in all 50 states. The United States is not segregated in case you didnt know.
Furthermore, we (and the UN) recognize Israels claim to that land.
Hear now, O Israel, the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you. -Deuteronomy 4:1
We tend to sympathize with Israel because of the holocaust and the whole losing 6 millions of their people.

I'm a Jewish person, but why should anyone have to give their land to the Jews. This is the USA's land fair and square why should they give it?
Israel is rightfully the Jews - that is why they have a right to it. We are not asking for land in general, only what rightfully belongs to us.

I think thats kindof racist what you said. Israel is the jewish peoples land, if you have ever read a bible. It was given back to the jews after the holocost by the British so it is the jews land.

G-d gave this land to the Jews. He also gave land in the area to the Arabs. They are brothers, the sons of Ismael and Issac. The must learn to live together.

Why would we give Israel one of our states? Sounds kind of arbitrary, but so does taking land from the Palestinians and giving it to the Zionists.

The USA is a country. Countries are a political concept, they are not tangible and generally have no emotions.
