Reply #84: that's bullshit

Israel was formed in 1948 by the British, who offered one half of the country to the post-Holocaust European Jews, and one half to the Palestinians, who in truth were Jordanians who had left their country.

The Palestinians chose not to take their half. As Abba Eban said, "The Palestinians have never missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity."

The Dutch didn't get South Africa as a result of being attacked on all sides by their neighbors. Israel got the West Bank and the Gaza Strip after being attacked, for the umpteenth time, by its neighbors.

It's an apples-to-oranges comparison.
