It's also not fair to characterize Israelis as totally innocent. There are a ton of religious fanatics buildings settlements right now.

True, but never would I say all Israelis are totally innocent. Far from it. However, the thread a few weeks back was Hamas firing rockets. Not how 'innocent' every Israeli is.
What do you mean Palestine does not have a state? It is called Israel. Don't get sucked in to the rhetoric. There is a country called Israel that represents many people, including Arabs. The Gaza was part of Egypt, the West Bank should be part of Jordan's responsibility (along with Israel), and the Golan Heights is partially Syria. The Northern border is with Lebanon. These countries all bear a responsibility to the current 'mess'.
There are religious fanatics in Israel. But let's get serious - for every 1 Jewish fanatic, there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Islamic fanatics. At least Jews can talk about them without fear of getting murdered.
