What Should Lebanon Do With Its Palestinian Refugees?

In fact, your argument seems to contradict your narrative for why Israel is created; wasn't your argument that Jews have a 'right to return' to the land of their ancestors?

That wasn't my argument.

My argument is that both Jews and Arabs had historically long lived there, and were living there at present, but they couldn't seem to get along: which was primarily the Arabs' fault due to oppressive discriminatory laws, and vile and unreasonable hatreds and religious bigotry. Additionally, the Jews were long persecuted in Europe and Russia, and oppressed in Arab countries, and therefore needed a haven. Given all of the above, the location of Israel was the most apt spot for such a haven; and while an imperfect solution, and one which was unfair to a few hundred thousand Arabs, it was probably the best solution overall. Combined with the fact that Israel comprises only about 1/900 of the total regional land mass, the rest of which is owned by Arabs, the creation of Israel does not seem entirely unreasonable, all things considered.

Moreover if the Middle Eastern Arabs/Muslims would only take a more enlightened view, and reform their terribly discriminatory laws and renounce religiously based bigotry, the haven state of Israel would no longer truly be necessary. But since Arab/Muslim discrimination against infidels and Jews runs rampant in the Middle East, even to the extent of major legally codified civil rights abrogations and discriminations, and considering the fact that loud Middle Eastern voices call for the extermination of the Jews, in my opinion Israel is a necessary and appropriate (though tragic and imperfect) solution.

No need to argue in this thread about the discriminatory laws of which I speak, as I'll be posting a separate thread for that discussion.
