following on from your query on wether it was only sensible to re-locate the Jews after the Holocaust. Yes, no and maybe.
As we said before, if israel existed before is quite a moot point. What is sure is that there were palestinians there who unsurprisingly felt pretty hacked off at having to 'share' their home and were pretty much subsumed into the state of Israel as it became then.
Now following on from the Holocaust, the Jews that were liberated from the camps would have been German Jews, French Jews, Polish Jews, Hungarian Jews, Austrian Jews, Russian Jews, etc etc, etc. Not that I am saying it would be an attractive proposition, but should they have been re-located to their original country? I'm not very up on any religious faith, but i think the Jewish population have always wanted a homeland that they can refer to as their own and the area that is modern Israel has been their home for centuries as well as the Palestinians.
Cuppy, ar you secretly formulating a peace deal here? Nobel prize in the offing? Don't forget your research assistants in the acceptance speech.
