Massive non-sequitur Ernest. Sussex was Welsh 2000 years ago, as was Scotland, and the USA was populated by Red Indians. If we all return to our homelands I'm not sure where I'll go- Normandy or Spain perhaps, but the Normans came from Scandinavia and their ancestors perhaps came from somewhere in central Europe or west Asia, not long before the Romans destroyed the Jewish state.

What's more, Zionism didn't take off until it had political support from the world's great powers, which support resulted from a mixture of guilt, religious nuttery, romanticism and an eye for the opportunity.
