(82,383 posts)I'd be panicked to live there, surrounded by enemies and terrorists. And what would happen if someday a US population existed that elected officials who refused to send any money or aid? The US devotion to Israel is almost mysterious. The right wingers are most honest when they admit it is because it is an ally or base in the ME. If the world manages to find energy sources other than oil and the ME is not longer cared about, for example, the US and the West don't need this base.
Plus they wouldn't be sharing the land. The Germans would be pushed out of some of theirs. The rest of the world would be very willing to support the idea and the Germans wouldn't dare object the way the Palestinians do. No Germans would be allowed to do anything negative - the entire world was enraged at Germany at that point. Nobody was enraged at the Palestinians to start with.
The UN should have intervened a lot longer, too, not just declared Israel to exist and let the Palestinians deal with it. It would have happened a lot more peacefully if they had worked there a lot longer to make sure everyone there was able to stay put and get along. Maybe the world has learned a lesson and next time it decides to simple create a nation by declaration, will do more to stabilize the area rather than just let them sort themselves out over periods of longer than 60 years.
