They deserve a home and have suffered great deals of pain and suffering during the Holocaust. Considering that we as a nation adore and love them so much and to sacrifice peace for the world in general, why dont we just give them NY since the majority of American Jews live there. As such, we would gain the love and support of Jews all over the world ! Shalom to all our brothers and sisters in Israel

Umm, you're not serious, right? We could part with Jersey, but NY? We're kinda attached to the Statue of Liberty, the Yankees, Broadway, Central Park, and the setting for many of our favorite tv shows... maybe New Mexico or Arizona, where the climate is like the middle east, they could bring the church of the holy sepulcher and put it next to the London Bridge in Lake Havasu???

Israelis already have a home, you nebbish. They call it Israel, just as they have throughout history. Through centuries of occupation by Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, more Arabs and then the British the Jews have never conceded ownership of their homeland, and they have always promised to return.
Israelis have no desire to live in New York, or anywhere but Israel. This comes partly from two millenia of deadly persecution from Christian and Muslim alike, which has created a belief that without their own homeland they will never be treated with justice and a willingness to die for that homeland, but even without that motivation many Jews would live nowhere else.
As far as the Palestinian problem goes, how can the Israelis be blamed for shooting back? The returnees bought swampland and desert from the legal Arab owners and worked for decades to bring those lands to arability. They did this under the rule of the Ottoman Turks, and then under the British, and only formed self defense organization when the Turks and British declined to stop the jihadists from attacking them because they feared public disruption.
If the Shriners in New Jersey were firing missiles into Manhattan, how long would it be before the troops were sent in to stop them? That is the equivalent of what has happened in Lebanon and Gaza. Is it fair for us to defend ourselves against a single terrorist attack, but to insist that the Israelis stand still and be shot at?
Your ignorance of the true situation undrmines your entire argument. You may or may not be an antisemite, but you are definitely uninformed. Maybe you should ask the Palestinians if they would like to move to the Hamptons.

We'd rather that outcome than (a) to continue to live under the present rogue regime or (b) to co-exist with mindless trolls whose antisemitism is so great that they would even conceive of this scenario. But thank you, the thought of getting free from the current insanity is a welcome relief.

No I have a better suggestion, since you support Israel so much: Give them YOUR home, instead of someone else's, Con.

Wow! Land stolen from the Palestinians? That's a good one. I just wish that he Jewish voters would stop and see the vicious antisemitism and anti-Zionism that democratic voters are really about. Why Jews continue to support the democratic party is beyond me.

....since we owe them so much?!? FOR WHAT? They've already got a home - Israel. Remember, the place that was stolen from the Palestinians!

yous MUST be another dumb *** libby Jew hater...
Why do yous libbys hate the Jews?
Actually, they are right back where they were always supposed to have been. They did not ever call New York their national homeland.
But then, as an 'intellectual' libby, yous are uninformed of history, or present, or future.
Just what are libbys informed on, i wonder?
