One has armies and the other has rocks and strap on bombs.

The difference is that all the lands Isreal currently occupies were captured in wars that were started by their Arab neighbors.
Various Israeli administrations have offered to trade back land for peace treaties with their neighbors, offers that have been rejected by Syria, and the Palestinians. (Israel now enjoys peace with Jordan and Egypt.)
Unfortunately for the Palestinians they have allowed radical elements to harden the Israeli public while rejecting each offer given.
