Michael, I don't argue for a return to pre-1947 borders. I do think it would have been better for the Jews and the Arabs to have resolved the situation incrementally over time using the power of the purse and the power of persuasion rather than by a stroke of the pen, backed up by military might. Jews and Arabs lived side-by-side in the region for hundreds of years, more or less peaceably, just as they lived in many other countries in the Middle East. How many Jews in Israel are there because they were expelled from elsewhere? Not just from the Middle East but from Russia and other places where Jews are hated? Including Eastern Europe after the Holocaust - sure, it was easier to make the Arabs give up their land than let the Jews live where they were born, or take them in as refugees. I would rather every Jewish refugee came to America. This is the new Promised Land. If God wants the Jews to move to Israel, He wouldn't make it so hard on them.
