You cannot give away some thing that doesn't belong to you.

If I accept stolen property which I know to be ill-gotten, then I am as responsible as the thief.

A Jewish state could've been established peacefully somewhere out in Utah instead (or joined the millions of American Jews prospering safely in their communities), but Palestinians had their land taken instead.

Why? Racism, plain and simple. Like the Native Americans, the Palestinians were treated as mere savages who could be dispossessed without consequence.

You also can't expect to receive something that doesn't belong to you. Arabs were not natives on the historical Jewish lands. The offer to give them just anything was more than generous.

What does "historical lands" mean? What's the cut off point on being able to claim the land your ancestors lived on?
