Isreal's population has grown 35% in the last few years, primarily from immigration, primarily from non-middle east countries. Local populations have seen their homeland taken away from them, primarily by Europeans since 1947 - and they were being bought out before that. They have lost influence in their own land, and they have been continually pushed out. I wonder why they got pissed off?

What if all the New Yorkers decided they were fed up with NYC and they bought land and started moving into Rhode Island? In a little while, they have all their people in office, and soon all the laws and courts are in favor of the New Yorkers. Now all the locals are powerless, displaced and angry - but there are 20 Million New Yorkers living in Rhode Island saying "What this is MY state?"

The Saudi initiative sounds like the best option for settlement, and the only fair one I can imagine.
