So why don't we get a homeland for the Roma? A country for the gays? They got treated pretty badly as well, and they're still getting treated badly in some places. Don't know where we'd send the gays and lesbians, but the Roma come from North India.

The British tried that solution twice - once to create modern Israel and once to create modern India. In neither case did it "work", ie produce a peaceful and harmonious solution. However in both cases the entities so created are realities that are not going to go away, so any solution has to work with what we've got.
