Sorry i wasnt very clear. I mean I believe the reverse. The USA was originally largely the pilgrims who were kicked out of the UK (specifically east midlands) due to religious persecution, in the same way that jews largely fled to Israel after persecution in other middle eastern countries.
Israel was created due to Jewish people being persecuted in Europe (Nazis), not the middle east. There were jewish people living in the region before.
Stuff like this

Cool thats not why israel was created. Its a manifestation of western guilt.
