The Volokh Conspiracy Does Liberia

Liberia's wounds are an ongoing result of the state's creation as a haven for resettled American former slaves-- on territory that was already inhabited. The conflict between an Americo-Liberian ruling class and the semi-colonized inhabitants is a major cause of that country's almost-perpetual civil war.

Emphasis mine, it sounds as though Jacob were describing Israel.
