There are arguments for and against it being a "bad idea", just as there are at least half-million nuances/factors to argument.
The UN Resolution brought to fruition the Balfour Agreement. Why? Put on both your anti-Jew cap and your Western/Christian guilt trip cap. The Holocaust would not have happened had we honored the Balfour Agreement in 1924 (speculative, not definitive). We, as the winners, have to fix this to assuage our guilt.
If you say the UN resolution brought on the current problem, I would counter with hatred for a religion and its people - hatred of difference - caused the current problem or Jews would have had no need to be sequestered to their own isolated little patch of ground that at the time was nothing beyond its religious significance. They could live anywhere without being pariahs and/or persecuted.
Most enemies are fabricated by politicians play on fear on hatred. Like ours.
