Elroy, Please elaborate on why you disagree with them and their logic. Do you think a region which has for centuries had many peoples of various religions and various ethnicities living in it should be changed via a violent war into a Jewish homeland, and it should then be accepted as such by the non-Jews in the region?

I brought up the fact that the USA was formed on Native American land, but that didn't impress Ted because back then "it was different." Meanwhile, even today there are those in the world who think that California and Texas should be given back to Mexico.

If we applied your same logic to many other borders that exist today, we would never come to any sort of consensus whatsoever on how the map ought to be drawn. What makes the Arab objection over Israel special? Because they are tenacious in their terrorism? No thanks.

If Israel were a 2nd Japanese homeland (a la Japreal, with Tarohito as the emperor), which had became Japreal via a violent war in 1948, would you expect the Arabs to accept it, or would you expect them to resist?

I really don't know why you continue to bring this up. The Japanese not only have a homeland of their own, but they were also the aggressors in WWII. Most everyone in Asia think they deserved the nuke. People in Korea also wonder why Korea was divided instead of Japan.

Your "Japreal" analogy really makes no sense. There wasn't a Holocaust against Japanese citizens, nor can any Japanese citizen claim any religious or cultural connection to "Japreali" lands in the Middle East. If you really want to talk about an artificially drawn border, why don't you answer my question about the 38th parallel in Korea?
