No, you still get it wrong. The State of Israel has not been Palestine for more than half a century; since recognition.

Israel is right where the Allied Powers, those who fought both World Wars and to whom the title and rights to the territory were surrendered, put them.
Israel is targeted, not because of it 's proximity
(although that does play a part). But because, in many respects, it has been the vanguard in the fight against,
blah, blah, blah...
All of that bullshit aside, Israel gets targeted because it is in Palestine.

The Arab Palestinians, if the were not fighting over the territory to which the mandate applied, would have been fighting over something else in the region. And if they don't have a reason to fight, they invent one.
I bet Jordan is appreciative that Israel holds the attention of the Palestinian Jihadist and Fedayeen.

OK, but what I said still holds true.

Israel is attacked by Hostile Arab Palestinians because they are more interested in Jihad and conflict, then they are at build a nation for themselves.
The Hostile Arab Palestinians
(with the characteristics of over-bloated egos and narcissism) would like you to believe it is about some patriotic ideal; but it is not. It is about money and power.
Truly great leaders seldom have a hidden Agenda on which everything goal pivots. The leader remembers he is a servant of the people and will attempt to maximize and focus all that good about the people. Together they will build a better life and a more prosperous nation. The leaders of HAMAS and FATAH are not leading; but following a career path because they have no real knowledge, skills or abilities other than be a Jihadist or Islamic Fundamentalist.
If you want a nation that ranks right up there with the top 25 developed nations (including Israel), then the ineffective Palestinian leadership has to change. The Palestinian mind-set has to change. If on the other hand, you want to be a mediocre country --- then stick with what you have.
