Exactly. By extending Dio's reasoning, does that mean that the queen of england should still rule America? Would that make the indians her subjects? England claimed the entire continent, and did not care that indigenous peoples (the indians) already lived there. The geo-political world at the end of WWII created the state of isreal out of guilt for letting hitler eradicate 6 million jews while the the rest of the world turned a blind and disbelieving eye. Is america at fault for the existence of isreal? or those who said, oh, we can't do anything, don't believe there is anything to be done. Are you a chamberlain, or a churchill? ask yourself that.
