Anyway, I did say I was going to reply to Sun Tzu, so here it is (just not in huge depth).
Sun,
My problem with your post is that it does not look at the historical dynamics and facts relating to the Jews, Palestinians, and the creation of Isreal.
It would be one thing if there had always been a Palestinian state and it was the Jews that went in and were killing off Palestinians, but that isn't the case.
No, to understand where we are now in the middle east, you have to look at several thousand years of history, culminating with the collapse of the Ottoman empire, the British occupation, the proposed partitioning of Palestine, and all the wars that have been fought between the Israel and its Arab neighbors.
To make the (simplistic) statement that today's troubles are a result of the Jews "stealing the Palestinian's land" ignores the complex realities of the situation.
