I'm not saying Muslims have no right to their current states. I am saying they don't really need another. They have plenty of room for their brethren that left Israel when it was made. There was no need to keep them in refugee camps for decades (Gaza was under Egyptian rule until 1967. The West Bank belonged to Jordan. Neither was willing to show proper Arab hospitality to their brothers), and get to the situation we have today.
Jews have no other home. The UN voted to give them one in this area, and plenty of Arab representatives were allowed to speak on the matter. The UN actually voted in 1947 to split it between Jews and Arabs. The Jews agreed. The Arabs were unwilling to share, and when the British (who were holding the area as a Mandate since WWI) left in 1948, they attacked. They lost.
1) no the arab muslims still dont have any (political)rights to the countries in the pacific. afaik, the arab muslims only have the middle east(and north africa).
2) most of the jews that is in israel might have ancestors from there but they themselves are not from there, you'd expect the arab states to not see this as religious threat when jews from all over the world were suddenly given land located spot-on in the middle east ????
