Israel did not make an Israeli state, a group of nations drew Israel up on a map after WWII blame Britain, America, and whoever else was involved. The past is over though, Israel is here to stay and until palestinians can accept that there will be no peace.[QUOTE="Plzhelpmelearn"][QUOTE="Espada12"]
But they only want to do so because Israel destroyed a muslim state to make a jewish one. Both sides aren't worth supporting imo, however one side does have a distinct advantage over the other.

Can you really blame them, though? I mean here you have a bunch of guys who basically came in, shoved everyone off their land, put these new guys in here and said "OK, this is their country now", and now the people living on what you feel is your land say they just want peace. It would be kind of like someone coming into your house while you were away on vacation, changing all of your locks, and then when you try to get them to leave they tell you that they just want to live in that house in peace. Well that's all well and good, but as far as you're concerned it's still your damn house.
Of course, that doesn't excuse all of the nasty **** that the Palestineans have done to achieve this goal, but really, quite frankly I think both sides are simultaneously understandable and reprehensible.
honestly, no I can't blame them and they definitely got shafted here, and I do think that both deserve blame for not sucking up their pride and working out a peace deal, but Israel seems to be the one of the two that is looking forward for a peace as opposed to backward towards injustice from over 50 yrs ago. They may have that convenience seeing as they had no injustice done to them at that point (obviously besides the holocaust which is irrelevant to this conflict), but ultimately I blame the Palestinians for escalating the problem and making it worse for Israel and themselves. Again they can be pissed at Britain, but Israel was basically just doing what they were told for the initial phase that pissed Palestinians off so much (at least to my understanding). Ultimately, I think it is just best to blame the Romans for crushing the Jews in AD 70 causing the diaspora.
