Modern Israel as lines on the map can be said to be a Western creation - the same as Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, the emerites...the list is long.
The concept of Israel as the Jewish Homeland pre-dates any Western creation.
The West should stand up a defend it because it is the right thing to do.
The West should also be willing to say "work it out already in the most amicable way" because it to is the right thing to do.
