Not quite the same thing but....

Just suppose, instead of rotten land, ( every American should feel
remorseful and embarrassed ) U.S. citizens had been forced
by a bunch of nations, who should have had no say in the matter, to
give Native Americans the state of New York. Insurrection??

"Among the issues that had to be dealt with by the Mandatory Power was the
question of a Jewish home in Palestine. Increasing Jewish immigration to
Palestine was strongly opposed by the Arab inhabitants, who in the mid-1940s
comprised about two-thirds of the territory's population of two million.
Faced with escalating violence, the United Kingdom decided, in February
1947, to bring the question of Palestine before the United Nations."

"The Jewish Agency accepted the resolution despite its dissatisfaction over
such matters as Jewish emigration from Europe and the territorial limits set
on the proposed Jewish State. The Plan was not accepted by the Palestinian
Arabs and Arab States, on the grounds that it violated the provisions of the
United Nations Charter, which granted people the right to decide their own
destiny. They said that the Assembly had endorsed the Plan under
circumstances unworthy of the United Nations, and that the Arabs of
Palestine would oppose any scheme which provided for the dissection,
segregation or partition of their country, or which gave special and
preferential rights and status to a minority."
