By this reasoning, the Jews fought for a homeland that was not by any
rights theirs. Is it any wonder that the Palestinians are fighting so
fearsomely after being out of control for such a short time period
(>> 2000 years)!

This is an example of how warped, thinking can become when one is
blinded by a cause. The fact is, that THE PROBLEM, will remain until
the nation of Israel becomes mature enough to recognize that the Palestinian
conflict will not vanish of its own accord. It will take the cooperation
of Israel and her enemies. History has shown us that it can work. 
Unfortunately, Israel is unlikely to reach that stage of maturity
while it retains the mindset of a nation battling for its life.
