TIME: You have been quoted as saying Israel should be wiped off the map. Was that merely rhetoric, or do you mean it?
Ahmadinejad: Our suggestion is that the 5 million Palestinian refugees come back to their homes, and then the entire people on those lands hold a referendum and choose their own system of government. This is a democratic and popular way.

Why let the people choose? Why not let land owners choose? The jews want to buy the land fair and squarely.
Living under muslim rules often sucks.
I would be for palestinian if they want monetary compensation for their lost land. I would side with palestinian if they allow jews to buy land and do biz in palestinian.
The issue is not one sided. While not perfect, Israel is not too discriminatory. Arab in Israel earn more than arab in arabs. In Palestines, jews can't even live. If I have to choose between an inch of land going to Israel or going to Palestine, it's an obvious choice.
For the PRIVATE ownership I'd go for palestinians. But jews wanna buy land anyway and it's up to individual palestinians if they want to sell. But it's POLITICAL ownership, and not private ownership they're fighting about. For the POLITICAL ownership, I'd go for Israel.
