This discussion is really just pointless. It's useless to try to argue who actually owns the land. Both Jews and Palestinians live in the region and none of them is moving very soon. They'll have to learn to live together and that's it.

The point is that there is an unbalanced war going on, where thousands and thousand of Palestinians are being murdered only for the sake of it, and that's going on for 30 years with full support from the US (money, weapons, training, propaganda, etc). The Palestinians aren't trying to wipe out the Jews, they're trying to live.

Palestinian terrorism is in no way justifiable by this, but it sure is understandable.
