Forcing a "state" upon Arab nations, against their rights

There weren't any Arab nations before the British gave them some -- they drew ALL the borders in the Mideast after the Ottomans fell.

Now, it's clear the Arabs have sold you on the idea that they alone have some divine right to rule every square inch of the Mideast, with free rein to oppress their Christian, Jewish and Kurdish minorities in any way they see fit.

I can see why the Arabs like this idea. But I don't see why I should buy the idea, or anyone else in the Western World should buy it either, for that matter. The whole idea turns on carefully observing the human rights of the Arabs, while ignoring the human rights of those whom the Arabs oppress. The Arabs may find it outrageous that any of the oppressed classes should wind up on top anywhere -- particularly Jews! -- but why should we?
