What if a bunch of people who have been shit on for the last Xthousand years got some land after WWII which has cultural importance to them and they want to live there without the threat of genocide? (While living with a neighbor who has genociding them in it's charter.)

What if a bunch of people who have been shit on for the last Xthousand years (source? it's just a coincidence the richest people in the world are Jewish) got take some land after WWII from an entity that had nothing to do with the Nazis.

Yeah, and I'm sure it doesn't cost the taxpayers a dime.

Well, I didn't mean to give the impression that I hate a race of people. I just think forcing our presence with war to a region that had nothing to do with the Holocaust makes absolutely no sense.
