What exactly is the problem with a Jewish state, half the size of southern Alberta? There's no oil. So they have some fertile land and nice beaches. Big deal.

Furthermore, you fail to note that there are actually Israeli Arabs too. I reckon their quality of life "under suppression from the Jews" is actually pretty good.
