#40. No it isn't.
Israel is protecting its own interests. In 1948 the Jews took control of the region from the outgoing Brits.
Not a single Palestinian family was displaced. Not a single grain of sand changed owners ... . There wasn't even rumors those things were going to happen.
The Palestinians (who have never had self rule in the region, unlike the Jews) had a choice. Accept the country as it was now, and work to ensure their voices were heard and assist in the forward movement of the country and its government.
Well they chose option 2 which was immediately vow to try and kill the entire Jewish population, join the armies of Egypt and Syria, and then storm back in to try and take the country by force.
The Palestinians are solely responsible due the Jews having been on a war footing, solely responsible for the Israeli government to need to consolidate its power and control land to improve its defensive posture.
They did this. They should have waited to see what new government would bring but no. They are murderous thugs that only know violence. They pushed Israel into this defensive posture, the Palestinians and Egypt/Syria who have all vowed to annihilate the Jews, are the problem.
The Palestinians have zero moral high ground.
If they had chosen to participate in the new government and not immediately turned to violence ... . They would. But they forever gave that away to the Jews by being the first to violence. The first to throw decorum out the window and be blood thirsty savages. This is the history they wanted, and got.
