The fact is, Israel was created by the UN. The Arab states carved out of the Ottoman Empire have as little or as much legitimacy as Israel does. Look into the "justification" for the Gulf States while you're at it.

I could care less about the state boundaries. The population is what counts. Jews were largely imported into Israel from both Europe and Arab states.

To argue that the Ottoman Empire's splitting into Arab states is no more legitimate than the creation of Israel is nonsense. The Arab states population's were not imported from Brazil for example.

In Africa the same is true. Blacks now rule Zimbabwe (incompetently it might be added) but it would make no difference to the the former whites of Rhodesia if there were Northern Zimbabwe (Shona) and Southern Zimbabwe (Ndebelli). It might, however, make some significant difference to the blacks if this were the case.
