By the way, if the situation was exactly the opposite, every single person in the world would be on Israel's side. Israel has less than 1 % of the land in the Middle East. Can you imagine if the situation was reversed? Let's pretend Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and all of those countries were Jewish states and then you had this tiny little Muslim country called Israel. And then let's suppose you had some Palestinian Jews. Under that circumstance, do you think anybody would suggest that Israel (being a Muslim state in my hypothetical) should give land to the Palestinians Jews? It would be laughable to even suggest that anyone would be against Israel if Israel was a tiny Muslim state surrounded by all Jewish states. Nobody would be suggesting that Israel had too much land and should give some away, if Israel was a tiny Muslim state surrounded by Jewish states.

I invite you to read the Wikipedia article on the Bosnian genocide and then get back to us about treatment of Muslim minorities:

I'm not sure what your point is. I don't know anyone that condoned the genocide in Bosnia. In fact, it was exactly the opposite. The UN came to the defense of the Muslims there. That is exactly my point. If Israel was a tiny Muslim state surrounded by Jewish states and there were Palestinian Jews firing rockets into Israel, the UN and the whole world would be outraged. But since Israel is a tiny Jewish state and not a tiny Muslim state, much of the world condemns them. It's absurd.
