If you do allow yourself to ponder "the problem", all of the arguments that justify Israel's rights to "biblical (ancestral) lands", also justify the rights of native Americans to pursue the similar goals, and to the Palestinians, as well.
Isn't the US Government of our great great grandfathers, and the states of Georgia and Illinois, and Thomas Jefferon, in !802, the "evil", from the perspective of what was right and just?
How do we explain away the injustice that we do, merely by replying that we "picked a side", and called it "white"?

I don't know how to explain the injustice other than the fact that the world is just not fair. Most of the countries in the world took land that was inhabited by someone else and those people probably took it from someone else and so on.. In most cases which side you pick depends on whether you benefit or not. In the case of Israel verses Islamic extremists I choose to not support the Islamic extremists.
