If you were born into a different family in a different place then would you be of that religion? ie. India-Hindu?, Afganistan-Muslim?, America-Morman?, Europe-Catholic? I'm sorry man but when you take anything out of religious scriptures as literal like something being "biblically promised", that is where the root of the problem lies. Why people take anything out of their religious books and follow it blindly baffles me. My opinion is that no book in any religion should be followed. It's the same as picking up any book of fiction. The Harry Potter books? Why not? In a few thousand years the books could get mixed up. If I told you I whole-heartedly believed in the tooth-fairy and she was my God would you laugh at me and call me crazy? Probably. But why is it different with other God's and religions? Why do you not believe in the tooth fairy or Zeus? Which one's are right? The one you hold onto but like I said if you born elsewhere into a different family.... Think about this.

Furthermore, people forget that the entire reason that the Palestinian people are displaced is that the entire Arab world declared war on Israel long before it was a nation. How would we react if a large aboriginal group started launching frequent attacks? Would we react by peacefully letting them form their own nation where they would be free to continue to launch attacks? It would go a long way if people stopped seeing Israelis as so different from themselves. Regardless of their religion, Israel is a nation of modern Western-style life, and until people (like the other commenters here) see them as such, it will continue to be an ignorance dump for the masses.
