>Then later any available land was already taken. So how then to form a state? One way would be to buy the land from the original owners in such quantity that you have a large enough space to become somewhat self-sufficient. Then you make sure that space is occupied by your group of people. Then you form laws, a military, and declare yourself sovereign. Sound familiar? That's what the Jews did in the 20th century, although admittedly there were some wrinkles in there. The Muslims happily sold the Jews their worst land, thinking them fools. Then when they declared sovereignty in a land dominated by Muslim tribes that had no sovereignty, those Muslims didn't like it, even though they had legally sold those lands to the Jews. To that, I'd say tough shit, Muslims. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

And we bought Manhattan Island for 22 bucks in beads... so?
