Arabs occupy area 800 times larger than Israel. In these areas they have exterminated the indigenous nations. Forcibly Arabized them and Islamized. Syria, Iraq, Egypt, all of North Africa, were non-Arab, Christian countries. They became "Arab" and Muslim, through extreme violence and rape. YES rape was one of the main means of Arabizing the conquered people. Women wore raped by the conquering Muslim hordes. After that they would convert to Islam and become third and fourth wives, if they did not convert they would remain slaves. In either case, their children would be Muslim. Men were slaughtered, enslaved.Currently, Israel is a tinny, tiny part of the area that the Muslims are unable to control, of course this is a big insult to the Muslims and Arabs. Israel is not an expansionist nation, Arabs are. Israel, which is the Jews, only seeks to live in their tiny ancestral land. Since the Jews are hated all over the Christian and Muslim world, it only makes sense that they should have their own country. Muslims have enough space already and they all hate the Jews.So live the Jews alone. Let them have their home, Palestine.
