McGrath, I challenge your version of the "trick" of drawing the borders.
However it was done there would have been trouble.
I would say they were drawn to include as many as practically possible who wanted inclusion, and vice versa.
It was a pragmatic attempt to please most of the people most of the time, and that is all polticians can ever hope to achieve.
The history is fiercely contested and disputed.
Any attempt now to right disputed historical wrongs is doomed to failure.
What you and Jim must try to do is accept that we are where we are, and aim to please most of today's people most of the time.

(You also stated as if it were undisputed fact a highly contentious and one sided version of Israel's history. Why do you do that?)
