No, I want immigrants to assimilate, not to whine and bitch and claim the land they immigrated to as their own. I am not splitting hairs, because I honestly can't care about either Israel or Palestine, however if a group of immigrants use outside help to get their land, it doesn't really mean it should be theirs.

I agree that immigrants should assimilate, but that is the danger of mass immigration: they simply cannot be assimilated that quickly. That's a policy question, though, and rather beside the matter at hand. Your arguments have been all over the place, as on the one hand, you'll argue that American Indians haven't a right to lay claim to the lands that they lost to immigrants, and on the other hand, you say that Jews have no right to any land in Israel because they are the immigrants (when, again, the immigrants only joined a previously existing and long established population).
