If only it were that easy. They tried that in 1950. The West bank was initially part of Transjordan (now called Jordan) and the Golan heights Syria. The Arabic nations refused to acknowledge the existance of Israel.

Just because a piece is written by the victim nationality does not automatically reflect accuracy. Not all Jews are Zionists for a start. There are more Jews outside of Israel (and in the US alone) than in.

According to Silver Cheetahs blaming theories it's all the Arabs fault anyway. Their policies of aggressive expansion circa 600A.D. created the whole mess.
