Why do India and Pakistan have the borders they have?
Because the British drew them that way? I once read an essay that the British redrew lines in many places so that only a superpower could manage the region (of which Britain was a superpower at that time, relative to the rest of the world). They messed up Palestine, Afghanistan, and India/Pakistan. India and Pakistan were just recently shooting at each other, so the legacy lives on, it seems.
BTW, I have no objections to the Jews having their own nation. The Palestinians, too. My only real curiosity about this is how anyone can make it work without wiping out another population. It seems no solution for coexistence is acceptable to both parties.
