(a) the inability of the Arab world to accept the exchange of population that took place in the late 40s and early 50s Jewish immigration into Palestine, with the intent (well known)of creating a state is what caused the population Jewish expulsion from Arab states as well as the Arab expulsion from the new Jewish state. Nobody has been happy since. (b) the inability of the Arab world to functionally adapt to the modern technological world, which politically has meant that they had to find a scapegoat to distract the masses from this unfortunate reality and on which they could focus their anger (rather than their political leaders). The exact same may be said for black Africa. But this in no way justifies letting whites have all the power in Africa. The fact that a transplanted nation can thrive democratically and technologically in the ME does not justify placing it there anymore than taking an island of territory in the middle of black Africa and letting it be an advanced white nation makes sense. Think about it. What is the "root" problem, really? Biology, or more correctly, the failure to understand it.

Would a Palestinean country have created the jobs that Israel has? Would they have developed the land? Who would be better off? So, under your required conditions for land, Intel could just go and take over all Amish land. Maybe Bangalore should get land in the knuckle-dragging, technologically backward red states. Have you see Dubai? While the rightwing focuses on sex and Muslims, China and India are passing us by.
