Okay, I'm convinced you're just shock-trolling now.The end of WW2 was a golden opportunity to carve out a Jewish homeland somewhere in Europe. If the Allies and Soviet Union could have agreed to it, and the Jews would have been willing to give up on their religiously-motivated quest for Palestine, it would have made more sense to simply give them a piece of Germany or Poland. The creation of Israel was a late exercise in European colonialism.
Damn them for not giving up on their religion!😂
Seriously though, do you really think they would want to have stayed in Germany where they had just been exterminated by terminators?

I think a lot of them would have. Germany was home to many of them, the only home they'd ever known, and while they might have had serious trouble forgiving the German people, they probably could have gotten past the bad memories by shaping the land into their own. One thing no one can argue is that a Jewish state would be much more peaceful and possibly prosperous in Central Europe rather than the Middle East.

That was their promise land and that is where they settled before anyone else, originally. Why is it their fault for wanting it back? As LP said it was given to them, they didn't break any laws.
