The blogs seem to feel that Cohen's assertion that placing a Jewish state in predominantly Muslim land is refuted by the fact the Jews were there first. By the same logic couldn't Native Americans set up a nation on Manhattan Island? I seriously doubt that Cohen is ignorant of the fact that the Jews were there for a 1000 years before the Muslims (whatever that means- in all likelihood they share anscestors) Cohen's point that the Israelis were European is quibbled with but it seems the effect remains the same even if only half of the Jews were European. (I did find the comparison between Arab Muslims and Southern whites provocative though I don't know enough about the people to know if that's true.)
