What if Israel wasn't placed at the borders of sea of Arabs?

Question

Imagine that Israel wasn't placed in Palestine, like any some other place, may be other continent (there were some alternatives other than Palestine at the days of Hertzel and before his days too) like South America! Do you think that the world would be the same?

Answer 1

probably

Answer 2

It would surely be the same, no doubt about it. Israel is an illegal state, established on the lands of the Palestinians. The core of the problem is that they are on a land that does not belong to them. The same would have happened if Israel was established on any other continent that is already inhabited.

Would Brazil, Peru etc have accepted them on their lands?! No way!! Put your self in the shoes of the existing people, would you allow a foreign nation to be established on your own soil, by kicking out your people, demolishing their homes?? I do not think so, you would have done the same as the Palestinian people. You would have fought for your land.

Answer 3

There were some other options which were rejected on historical grounds. Everyone claims a piece of the Holy Land it seems.

Whoever finally caved after the war (Churchill?) should have stuck to their guns more firmly; Uganda would have been the best place on offer then, unfortunately now there's only Antartica. Oh, well.....

Answer 4

South America(Argentine) was an alternative...also Africa was an alternative...I think that either way they would have occupied some country's land...And of course people tend to fight against the occupiers...Maybe they wouldn't have chose the same methods of fighting like the Palestinians,but there would have still been a fight...

Answer 5

i think the world's stability would brake up.

but without sarcasm, i'd say jews wanted a place in the holy land, and the british made sure they got some.

and yeah, the world would be 50Db if isreal wasn't in palestine. (go on the moon, put up a mic there. you'll hear a constant sound of almost 50db). (for those of you too stupid to understand that: 50db means without a chirp, slurp, bump, hoof, moo, and of course, baa)

Answer 6

i belive that all EUROPE wanted to get rid of the guilt feeling after what the NAZI did to the JEWS ( if this was really true & not thier own fabrication ).
so they said let's DUMB them anywhere else to { be another MAN's Problem }
so they put them in the heart of the middle east. now the HEART IS SUFFRING.
till know they caused 6 BIG wars in the area.
can you consider moving them somewhere they don't have troubles with thier neighbors or try to steel a piece of land once every while ?

i think SOUTH POLE

Answer 7

They should have been given Germany. BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagon all used concentration camp slave labor and are still in business. Meanwhile Palestine suffers for the crimes of Germany.

Answer 8

Actually blame us Brits cos we wanted an "Israel" and we suggested somewhere in Africa, but modern Jewry wanted a place in the "Holy Land".
Uganda sounded so good in the *50's!!

Answer 9

Definitely not the same.It is precisely Israel's present location that is and has been the reason for repeated hostile confrontation with it's neighboring states.

Answer 10

Nobody would want them. Besides, they stubbornly believe that an imaginary deity gave them that land. Nuclear waste should be dumped on the holy land so NOBODY could live there.

Answer 11

The jews can live wherever they want. What would you do if someone wanted to move you because youre obviously causing problems for other people who you dont even know.
