I've got to say that Skybirds post back a page makes a lot of sense; just handing out land to a certain group (land that is already inhabited by another group) is a ridiculous thing to do in the first place.
And the motive for giving Israel to the Jews after the war were also questionable. It was a lot easier to give them a piece of land to live in, than to let them back in European societies, and having to give them back their positions, possessions, companies etc. After the terrible events they endured in the war, we like to think they were welcomed back with open arms, but that unfortunately is not true at all.
I can also understand the Palestines who just got screwed over. There's no denying that. But as long as they continue to quarrel even among themselves and continue with the suicide bombings, there's not really much use in negotiating with them either.
And like Skybird said, there are now generations of Jewish Israeli people that were born and raised there, so just giving Israel back to the Palestines would be an enormous injustice too. Two wrongs don't make a right. We like to think there's a solution to each problem, but we got to accept that in some cases, there is no one true and simple solution. I'm really pessimistic about the situation there.
