Israel, 1948 - right.
That was the Brits fault.
Of course there were "Jewish" insurgents back then.
But before the Brits - the Turks ran the place.
They kinda had it between Persians since the middle ages
Of course the Christians tried to get it back when the Persians took it.
That didn't go so well, but I think the Christians/Romans really did in the Jewish people when they sacked Judiah, (not the Persians). The Persians just kicked out the Christians! TWICE.
The Christians got Iberia (Spain) back from the Moors, but that was about all they did to regain the old Roman/Byzantium -hood. At least they got street cred.
Then of course you can't forget that before Judiah there were the Philistines (i.e. Palitinians). But I think Alexander really took the cake when he took the whole damn thing all the way to Western India/Pakistan!
Maybe the Greeks should get the land back since one could argue that they had it first - all would be happy then.

Passports are a good idea . . .
