New Jersey is the 5th-smallest US state, covering 20,168 square kilometers or 7787 square miles .

As the comparison map above shows, the land currently controlled by the State of Israel (including disputed territories) is not much larger: 27,869 square kilometers or 10,760 square miles.

Israel in its pre-1967 borders was 8,019 square miles or 20,770 square kilometers, just barely bigger than New Jersey.

Considering its tiny size, is Israel large enough that it can afford give away land to try to placate the Arabs?
