Okay, choose some other state. I was just trying to make people imagine how they might feel if a foreign Israel was set up in the Palestinian US. I'd imagine quite a lot of Americans would be rather upset about the whole thing, and try to expel it, and keep trying to do so for decades using whatever methods are available. Furthermore, many would continue trying to do so long after it became apparent that the destruction of the new state wasn't possible. (I'm not picking on America: the same thing would probably happen in Britain and many other countries too.)
