Why is it such a big deal anyways? Is it because of the doom and gloom from religious prophecies? Lol...
How much can people care about two groups of people that resort to terrorism and destruction constantly?
Well the Israelis having discovered world wide bigotry against them would just like to live in their own ancestral lands in peace.
And the Palestinians who have a claim to the lower coastal regions since the time of the ancient Greeks even before the Israelis' ancestors moved there want all of the land too.
So while an Israeli would never blow you up with a bomb a Palestinian surely would if given half a chance.
That's why it affects you.
Moron.
Dude, the Jews have been hated for thousands of years. Don't give me that bullshit

And I am well aware the Palestinians are violent and shit. So us the Israeli govt.
Think of it as gang warfare with thousands if gangs in one big city.
Everyone is armed because every other groups wants to kill everyone else.
Palestinians are made up of hundreds of groups, but Fatah and Hamas are the majority in the PLC.
The other gangs give a certain deference to the larger groups but still cling to their own agenda.
Israel began with second hand equipment and weapons, and scavenged parts to make them work.
When Israel was attacked, even with inferior weapons, they still fought 5 well equipped armies to protect their state. Each war against Israel was repelled and in some Israel gained more land from Jordan and Egypt.
Palestnians for decades were attempting small raids and attacks but never forming a comprehensive army, till Fatah tried to over throw Jordan's king. King Hussein had offered them citizenship in Jordan and the position of PM to Arafat. Arafat through he could do better and lost after tens of thousands were killed. Arafat and his Fatah were forced to leave Jordan. Arafat started the same in Lebanon resulting in 15 yrs of civil war. Again Fatah lost and was forced to leave Lebanon.
Most of the time palestinians are still fighting each other in the camps. Almost weekly there is trouble in some camp or another.
Even after years of fighting most people are still armed. Another war is a breath away.
Palestinians have caused trouble in Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq and Syria. Everyone suffers because of the refugees and armed factions.
Syria has actually killed more palestinians than Jordan, Lebanon and Israel combined, but most did not care till the syria civil war. Assad had not love for them, his father and him used the palestinians for their own benefit.
The issue of jews is a petty distraction to promote a fictional Palestinian cause so others can gang political and military clout. Biggest "stick" wins, or so the game is supposed to go.
The middle east is not a jewish problem but a long standing feudal one. The Jews were just a call for most groups to unite together, for a short time.
In most mosques the prayer used to be "first the Saturday, then the Sunday people" Or "First Jerusalem, then Rome" This is really not about the jews but everyone else. Jews are just the door that needs to be opened for them to reach beyond.
The camps were and likely still are breeding ground for hate and several were also training ground for other terrorist groups in the world From Japan to the central and southern americas.
As individuals they can be great people but there is mob, insect, mentality that they do what their queen/leader, spiritual or military, says to the death. Some have gotten out, but too many remain circling round their singular leaders.
Fatah was made up of dozens of factions, but not is somewhat more singular in their thinking and actions. Somewhat!
Gathering a force against Israel is like gathering the all the gangs from Chicago, NYC and LA. Many would still end up trying to kill each other.
It is far more complex, but this is an analogy many might understand.
Unity against Israel keeps shattering and many arabs have already come to an unofficial peace with Israel. Many are trying to normalize relations. Some factions want to prevent that.
This will continue to be a struggle of factions with or without Israel. But, Israel does exist and will do what it must to protect itself and all it's people.
