It's an amalgam of Palestine, the Irish Troubles and period since, and a smattering of pre and post WWII Jews (both Zionist terrorists and Israel, manifest in the prefederation period and competing factions corrupting the "interim" government). Theres even some north american first Nation material slyly slipped in there too. I don't understand why people expect, let alone want, the Bajorans to be an exclusive representation of a single peoples or problem... It's much more poignant as an abstract which can be used to review real issues through a figurative representation of the entire class of issues/peoples.
