41. That's an inaccurate analogy.
An accurate analogy, as has already been mentioned, is the indians and settlers.

Israel was forced off their land many, many centuries ago. They left Germany and Poland when they were being massacred about 70 years ago. Once it was agreed upon that they deserved recompense by being given their own country, something they hadn't had for centuries, some idiot decided to move Palestinians off land they legitimately owned, had been living up, and passing down to their heirs for centuries. They moved their hereditary enemy (Israelies) in next door and for some reason couldn't figure out that what we have now would be the end result. I don't blame them for not wanting to move back to Poland or Germany. I do blame whoever thought this was a good idea and can't help but wonder if it was a variation of NYMB theme when they were allowed to return after what was literally centuries.

Your argument is false, possibly even malicious in intent.
