California was the home and property of Mexico. They obviously want it back. Should we give it to them? Just pack up all of the American citizens and move them out?

Both Jews and Palestinians need and must have their own state. That is a fact and not negotiable.
For this to happen, both sides must compromise. Palestinians must accept Israel's right to exist, and reject terrorism. Israel must recognise that the Palestinians have suffered and need their own state.
It should also be noted, for the sake of accuracy, that the original term 'Palestinians' referred to the Jews. Jews have lived in Palestine, now Israel, for close on four thousand years continuously. Mark Twain, writing in the 19th century, famously reported that 'Apart from the Jews living there, there is nothing but wasteland a few wandering Arab nomads'.

I believe your terminiology is wrong. First of all, are the majority of Mexican nationals still living in California after the US claimed it centuries ago? No.
In the case of Isreal and Palestinian it is different. The majority of nationals living in the state of Israel are Palestinian nationals. Palestinians are the only people on Earth who have a nationality, but still do not have a country of their own. If you want to seek the facts, open the history books and read. There once was a country called Palestine where Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived in peace. All this was before Belfore promised the Jews a land of their own.
I believe that two states living side by side in peace is the only solution to end the Palestinian- Israeli conflict and bring peace to that region. That is also the vision of the US president: a two state solution. The Palestinians have been struggling for their God-given rights for the past 60 years. Today, as said by the UN secretary-general in numerous occassions, they live in occupied territories by Israeli forces.

Who wants Israel given to the Palestinians?
Right off the bat you proceed from a false assumption. Nothing after that initial flwed assumption can be true or logical.
A much more logical analogy would be to say, "I sold my house to a Mexican family. I moved out, they moved in, then I moved in again, without their permission, and I don't pay rent to them. Is this ok? If not, why do we tolerate illegal aliens in this country at all?"
Pretty pathetic when a Liberal has to educate a Conservative on how to hate better....

Two separate states will do just fine... 1 for the Pales, and the other for the Jews. Now for California... isn't the primary language their Spanish? I mean I know it's really English, but who speaks English anymore? So it seems the Mexicans have reclaimed CA, as well as others along the Mexican border. Now I hope that wall... i mean "fence" will work to keep illegals in... i mean out.

I think that giving California back to Mexico and New York to Canada might solve the problem of the North American Union.

Cool analogy.
Admitting that Israel is illegally occupying another people's land is a good first step.
In California, all people, under law are free and entitled to equal protection under law. In Israel, the Palestinians are systemically discriminated against, segregated in very bad conditions, and even subjected to mass murder (none dare call it genocide.)
A better analogy is America's mass murder of Indians from sea to shining sea. And yet, again, today, although it can never compensate for the theft and the genocide, Indians who survive are entitled under law to the full benefits of US citizenship.
If Israel could provide that to the people's whose land they've stolen and whose rights they consistently and egregiously violate, the world would be a much more peaceful place.
(But you don't care about that, do you?)

I say give it to Mexico, after we take all the garbage from every superfund site and garbage dump in America and drop it right in San Diego at the current border. Oh yeah and block all water from Lake Mead from entering the state.

Well considering that liberals don't want to give Israel back I would say your question is invalid.
liberals waffle on issues with Mexico because they are idiots
conservatives rape the freedoms of the Unites States and push this country further and further into Fascism because they are idiots.

I would gladly give Mexico Texas and The Israelis all the Southern States East of Texas.
There problems solved.

Regardless of people's ethnicity in California, it is still and always be a US state.
When will you realize that everybody is human? And deserves equality, rights, freedom and justice?
