Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Not the OP, but the reasons for creating a country of the other people's land was basically religious, that makes it automatically a mistake.

No jews actually are considered a "race" because the only way to actually become Jewish is to be born from a Jewish mother.

And other peoples land? You know how many times that place of earth switched hands? How far do you need to go back to "rightfully" own land?
