Bottom line, they don't deserve a particular patch of land.

I just think this is a highly unrealistic view that fails to acknowledge the here and now.

Tejek's remarks notwithstanding, it is absolute fact that the speck they live on was nothing until it was given to the Jews. The Jews, when given that land, made it into something. Churchill's remarks were spot-on -- the Palestinians would NEVER have developed it. The REAL value in the land stems from the fact that the Jews live there.

Do they "deserve" it? They probably do at least to the same extent the Palestinians do. But at this point, it is water under the bridge. I'll be glad for them to have a chunk or Arizona. Or Arkansas. But we're a long way down the road for Iran to still be coveting this tiny patch of ground.
