Actually, before the French took over the Algerian coast in 1830, Algeria didn't exist as a nation-state. That's why a faction of Muslim Algerians (who formed the MNA and FAAD parties in the 1950s/60s) claimed that it was the French colonization itself that, somehow, brought Algeria's natives together --against the European occupier. Unlike the kingdom of Morocco, up until 1830, the Algerian coast was merely a pirate den....Pieds-Noirs to be indigenous to Algeria --alright. But then, 230 years might likewise not be enough for the Europeans to be indigenous to... America. Who knows, Ed, perhaps it'd be wise for white Americans to pack up and go back to Europe, and for black Americans to relocate in Africa, etc."If somehow the Palestinians were militarily victorious over the Israelis where would the Jews go?" political and ideological and such a victory doesn't entail the expulsion of Jewish Israelis from the Israeli state.Know any countries willing to take in 6M plus people?
