I have a friend Zeev that was born and raised in Israel. I told him I think of Israel like a European colony, because it sounds like most of the people there came from Europe or USSR. He agreed telling me even his parents did migrate there.
Another view the place could be thought of like the Jamestown Virginia 1607 or Plymouth Rock colony in Massachusetts 1620. From there they expanded. Maybe over the next 100-200 years, they move the backward people on reservations, and Israel grows completely across the Middle East like the USA, a new country called the United States of Arabia, or U.S of Israel?
