In this conflict, Israel is every bit as guilty as Palestine is.

As a non religious person when I read about the creation of Israel and what happened to Palestine I'm kinda "WTF?". So the people of Palestine had a nation forced onto them by the Western world who were trying to make up for not defending the Jews when Hitler went nuts and somehow the Western world think it's all the fault of Muslims/Palestinians that they are not happy with what happened? And no matter what the Israelis do to the Palestinians they will always have the support of the Western world? What the hell?

I have a really hard time understanding why the Israelis get so much rope on this - the land has been in the hands of many people over the years so it's not like they can claim that it's theirs. It's no wonder the Palestinians fight back and the Muslim world hates the Western world.
