They would rather keep the Palestines where they are rather than incorporate them into other middle east nations. It keeps the conflict alive.
What civilization does not have somewhere in its history, the fact they took lands from others? Not defending or accusing, just pointing out that the one thing we can depend on geopolitically is continual change.

Using that rationale, I and 100,000 others of documented Scottish decent, should smuggle guns and ourselves into Scotland, get backing of some large and powerful country in the UN, and take back all the lands taken from us by the English 500 years ago.
Do I really need to tell you that the above isn't rational, but taking back land from which your father was evicted 60 years ago, or less, is legitimate?
