Because this whole conflict is particularily dealing with the time period after the Balfour declaration which basically decalred the establishment of Isael. Palestinians may have occupied those places before but the issue at hand right now is where they recently got kicked out of and that was what is known as today to be Israel. The Palestinians hate Jews but its not like it was with the Nazi's with no reason behind it. They hate them, especially the newer generation, because Israel basically isolated them into the slums and they consistantly bulldoze houses to seek out the terrorist who come over on their side and blow everything up. Now don't get me wrong I understand why Israel is doing these things because essentially they are scared of terrorists. However, doing these things is really only breeding more terrorists. What they need to do is back off keep the borders closed off but work with the leaders of Palestine to solve this problem because though its really easy to see Israeli people or Palestinian people to be the good and the bad guys, what everyone needs to realize is that its the Terrorists who are the bad guys and is ruining everything. I mean its a tough issue to solve but the bottom line is they either need to settle their differences and work together or suffer.
