What do you mean by the "the Land of Israel and Palestine"? Isn't it a synonym?

Why to to say "United states AND America"? Your political view can't change the very historical fact that Palestine IS the land of Israel. The fact that more than 30 foreign nations invaded the land of Israel doesn't make that land of the conquerors. Jews always lived in the land of Israel. Only foreign conquerors prevented from them the natural right to own their national land. The fact that those Arabs succeeded to conquer and rule other 20 states doesn't mean that Jews should surrender to their bloody wishes to have Israel land too. Add to that the fact that the Arabs in the land of Israel, aka Palestine, have already a Palestinian state called Jordan. The Arabs in Palestine have their own state since 1922. Jordan contains about 80% of Palestinian Arabs next to the Bedouin-Saudi Arabs and the king's family. When the Arab refugees will return to their state in Jordan they will be about 98% of the citizens of their national state. I think that this fair enough to all.

You have a great mistake describing Zionism when you talk about The "European concept of the Nation-State" which is the "root of the problem and not a solution as proclaimed". As far as we see for now Israel is the national home for the Jewish people and achieved one of it's goals to make Anti Semitism impotent. Now Anti Semite can't make another Shoa. That's what bothers them the most in the very existence of Israel. Jews, Zionist and Anti Zionist fill safe to argue and quarrel with themselves knowing that they are much safer now days than they were 100 years or 70 years ago. The very nature of a state for Jews is not strange in Jewish history. Jews had states or kingdoms before, and Israel is quite the fulfillment of the Yehezkel's prophecy of the dry bones coming up from the Shoa's valley.

Israel is quite safe, although terror actions and intimidation slogans made by some lunatic Iranian. The great change is that no nation can kill 6 million Jews and stand on its feet any more. Israel has its own merit and ability to defend itself in proper ways. Israel by its existence keeps the Jews safer all around the globe. If Israel wasn't existent I'm sure that the number of Jews in the world today was sliding down quite fast, and the Jewish people would have vanished within 3 -5 generations from now, leaving only some few weird black coats "Neturi Karta" in the streets of Brooklyn.
