Quite a difference indeed. Terrorism is a tactic of the ignorant and the weak.

2. Explain how the bloodlines of the current "Israelis" are linked to the Jews/Israelites who will have been promised the land in biblical times in the answer to question #1.
3. Where are Palestinians to go? Were they not there at the turn of the century?
4. Explain how suicide bombings are more terrible than the Modernized military tactics used by Israel. I find the suicide bombing tactic DISPICABLE and the LOWEST form of warfare YET it may just be DESPERATION that drives a people to do this. Lets put aside all the "this side hates us and they say this and tell their kids this" CRAP and break down the simple emotion of PRIDE and INTEGRITY. What is really cowardly and what is really honorable.
5. If people could agree (people have not for the last century) that the Palestinians should leave the land...where do they go (asked again).

1-2) You answered #2 with #1.
3) The majority of the Palestinians are from Jordan, who have the land to take back their own refugees, but they don't want them back. Maybe they know something the rest of us don't.
4) Again you answered your own question. Suicide bombings ARE despicable and the lowest form of warfare, and cowardly too. What is honorable is to take a stand and protect your citizens from these despicable tactics.
5) See #3.
