The Arabs could have accepted partition (whether legitamitly or as a consession for backing Hitler in WWII) and we all could have gone on our marry way. They could have accepted the peace deal in 2000-2001 and avoided years of violence.

You really are misunderstanding me, and I'm not sure how I can clarify it for you either. Because in effect I agree with you whole heartedly.
The Jews have a right to their homeland in Jerusalem.
The Jews have had to suffer through so much to get to where they are today.
The thing is, I blame the Arabs for not giving up or trying to at least negoitate something else for not honoring the peace or for attacking jews and wanting them wiped out.
The thing is, I have a feeling this conflict is going to last another 50 some years, and it just isn't going to be settled because it seems like it has gone way beyond just the possession of land to anti-semetism.
Is this the fault of the Jews? NO.
But maybe I'm being naive when I think 60 years of violence is pointless, It just seems like one side has to cave. It doesn't look like it is going to be the Arabs for peace in the region.
There are times I don't think the Jews are dealing with a rational enemy.
