Sure...
To hell with the fact that arabs were the first rulers of Palestine who allowed jews to return to Palestine after the Diaspora (around 600 AD)!
To hell with the fact that anti-semitism in the Middle East always paled into insignificance when compared to Europe!
To hell with the fact that the majority of the jewish population of Israel is secular!
To hell with the fact that the palestinian cause was
RIGOROUSLY secular from 1948 to 1985!
To hell with the fact that israeli manipulation was crucial to the creation of Hamas and Islamic Jihad!
To hell with the fact that the jewish population of Palestine during the first decades of the last century was so "mistreated" by the arabs that they vehemently opposed jewish immigration!
To hell with everything that even slightly suggests that human beings from different ethnic backgrounds can coexist in peace in Palestine as they do everyday in America, Mexico, South Africa and, yes, in the Middle East before the Zionist movement got going!
