Jews lived in the area for a long time before the establishment of modern Israel. There were certainly elements that were hostile to the the creation of Israel but it was mostly for, I would argue, the wrong reasons. So do we let bad actors dictate? There was probably a peaceful path for the establishment of Israel but the usual suspects prevented that from happening. I guess my question is, if the area currently known as Israel is not suitable for Jewish homeland because of hostility from their neighbours, where in the world would there be a suitable location? I suspect it would be very similar no matter where they set up.
