59. Whatever the number is-
and I believe it's 6 million Israelis of whom 1 million are Arabs or others, the overwhelming number of those people love and support their country- just like most people anywhere. They may not support their government, and Israel does have a vibrant peace movement, but even those folks are unlikely to consider having their country dismantled and being shipped off to NJ or wherever.

As for Israel's creation, whether or not it was a good idea is certainly debatable, but it's a fait accompli, and though there was undoubtedly violence and injustice used to create it, it was also created by UN mandate.

Your solution is morally repugnant. It's every bit as disgusting and racist as suggestions that the Palestinians should go live in Jordan and other Arab countries.

Congratulations.
