Since the 800,000 Jews were in reality simply being transfered from one part of the country to another, it left lots of space for others to move. I give up. I've pointed out what is wrong with your thinking here, but you don't seem to understand. Also after Chief joseph lost his land North America has welcome all kinds of people. LOL. Did it help Chief Joseph and his people? He who legends has it told Teddy R. when asked for his suggestions for the good of the nation (USA) in his old age (a Christian by then) he replied: "Watch your immigration policy". We even let muslims in, which may turn out to be a deadly mistake. Ah, some understanding dawns. For any entrenched group, letting new ones gain a toehold dangles the possibility of eventual disaster. Something the wicked Arabs understood about Zionism. Besides I do not see this as a religious war, fueled in no small part by the islamic notion that Islamic Needs or wants in this case supercede all else. Uh? Don't you mean you do see it as a religious war? I was taught, and I believe that if the Arab "States had welcomed the israelis, instead of making 60 years of war, that the entire region would be rich with irrigation, and solar power and all the benefits of present civilization. How many billions and billions of dollars and how many opportunities have been wasted in order to assuage the pride of Earths most Backward Religion? This is were you don't understand. It has very little to do with Earths most Backward Religion, and much more to do with a universal human trait: We all have honor and pride. Try to crush those in any group, and you can expect unending trouble. I could point out that in Southern Africa, Rhodesia was in fact a very prosperous country, even for the blacks, when measured by the neighbors. But it was also a country where some were more equal than others, and this fact was constantly in the face of the less equal. The interlopers who could run a country, and bring better peace and prosperity than the locals were also lords and kings who had taken the birthright of the locals. The locals were not Muslims either.
