Im going to chime in here, since this in in my area of expertise, kinda.
I have a fairly unpopular view of the Israel/Palistine situation, in that I basically believe Israel is in the right 99%. Although I do not always agree with their methods, I can not say anything is out of bounds when the intentions of the muslim world have been made plainly obvious for the last 50 years, and the media saturation of pro-muslim propaganda has made the world oblivious to facts....
Fact 1: The main antagonist/protagonist (depending on your views) of the whole conflict in the early days was the Mufti Husseini. Arafat was a general in his army, and in turn the Mufti was a nazi criminal who was hellbent on the destruction of all the jews in the middle east. How can Israel even pretend to negotiate with a man who as recently as a couple years ago said he was proud to be in his army?
Fact 2: Everyone always places so much emphasis on the palistinian refugee problem. The fact is, jewish citizens of middle eastern countries have gone through just as many hardships, and have migrated to Israel in similar numbers as the palistinians. The only difference? Israel accepts jewish refugees from other countries, whereas middle eastern countries do not accept palistinian refugees. Jordan is the only country who has even a half humane policy towards palistinians, yet their policy is less than perfect. In many cases, middle eastern countries who take in palistinian refugees force them to live in camps and blockade any sort of building supplies or food from getting through. Why would anybody do this? Well this brings me to point #3.
Fact 3: In a galaxy far far away, the jews signed a dhimmitude with their muslim conquerors, sparing their lives but giving up any sort of freedom. Some of the rules of the dhimmitude -- they had to put devils on their doors, could never accuse an arab in court, could never form their own country.... oh wait... they did... see what I am getting at?
Fact 4: Before Israel formed their own country, jews were migrating to Israel en masse. Did palistine mind? F*** no! They invited the jews, or should I say the Mufti (from fact 1) welcomed the jews, but only if they paid exorbanant prices for land. That same Mufti, who all the palistinians are so fond of, tortured and executed anyone in palistine who would do the same, try to make profit from selling land to the jews.
Fact 5: They have tried to wage many wars against Israel in the past. There was no problem with jews going into Israel and displacing Palistinians before the created their own nation, it was once they formed their own nation and violated the dhimmitude that all this started taking place. Some of the more interesting slogans and quotes from arab leaders back then: "Palistine is our land and the Jews are our dogs" or when the leaders of many arab nations defied the UN and stated something to the effect of -- Many people wonder who the progressors are in this war, it is us and we are going to destroy Israel (I forget the exact quote but it is 100x worst, and represented a time when fanatics didnt hide behind cowardly acts and displayed outright their antisemetism)
There is a lot of history in this issue, and I will agree that Israel has done some horrible stuff in the past. I cant disregard the reasons for the palistinians struggle though.
Not that the palistinians are to blame though, they are victims as much as the jews are, it is the corrupt leaders of other arab nations who are using them as pawns in an antisemetic war against israel.
