I don't think everyone "deserves" their own land. Change the discuss from the Middle East and instead let's talk about the Basque.
The Basque are neat. I've eaten in a Basque restaurant - it's strange. You walk in and there is one item on the menu, which is whatever they are serving that night. You don't sit at your own table, but sit at these large tables where you end up sitting next to strangers.
They are located in Spain and France. They have their own culture. Does that mean they must have their own land? Should France and Spain just cough up land to them? What about people who live in Basque dominated areas? Should France and Spain move them? Should they stay there and suddenly loose their citizenship to France or Spain?
What about the Amish? Hell, they seem to have their own laws and yet still reside in many regions in the United States. Isn't it possible to exist peacefully? The Amish seem to be fine living in the US.
