LOL, Israel was established after WW2 and 1967 borders are recognized by UN so there is no such thing as want there. Israel also has the right to annex all the territories under occupation which also would be recognized but Israel chose not to.

Israel was not recognized by any Arab government in the UN vote in 1947 (or whenever it was), so that's where the Arab resistance to the idea of Israeli legitimacy starts.

And what 1967 borders are you refering to? Is there a border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, or do you mean the border with Egypt?

LOL, Israel recognizes all religions and have muslims and christians in the Kneset. There good books and articles written about Israeli government system

Nevertheless, Israel provides unequal preferential treatment to Jewish people, does it not? I believe Israel will give resources to help a Jew move from Argentina to Israel, but will not help a Muslim move from Argentina to Israel, correct? The question is why isn't Israel held to the same standard (a country where all religions are treated equally) rather than a country which is a "Jewish state"? As far as I can tell, the idea of a Jewish state is un-American, because it implies Jews are entitled to something which non-Jews are not.

Can a Palestinian refugee marry an Israeli and become an Israeli citizen and buy a home?
