"the palestinians have been screwed throughout history. Israel, by force has seized so much land and then infringed even further into palestinian land.

growing up in saudi arabia with palestinian friends, I always felt that way. Having said that, I find myself just about all out of sympathy for their cause.

Look at the history, it does not lie... There fought 3 major wars with Arabs since its establishment in 1948. All three of them were started by Arabs and won by Israelis. Israel didn't occupy the territories for nothing, they wanted a demileterized buffer zone between them and the enemy.For the tiny county of Israel, that is 300 miles long and 75 miles wide, a few miles they occupied is a big help.

Didn't the Palestinians get kicked out of Saudi Arabia?
