An honest mistake?

Here is an interesting question posed by WaPo columnist Richard Cohen, and pondered by Andrew Glass of The Hill: Is Israel a mistake?
Cohen said that Israel

“… is an honest mistake, a well-intentioned mistake, a mistake for which no one is culpable, but the idea of creating a nation of European Jews in an area of Arab Muslims (and some Christians) has produced a century of warfare and terrorism of the sort we are seeing now.”

Glass, noting that both he and Cohen were descendants of Polish Jews, added his own perspective here.
