I agree with the whole settlements thing ^, but I'm also questioning the rationale behind everyone being mad at Israel all the time for different reasons.
The "Palestinians", and I use that term loosely, have always wanted to destroy Israel but have slowly been changing their tune over the last 40 years as to what their main beef with Israel is. First it was that they stole their land and don't have the right to exist, even though it was the British that did that and then divided the land up between the Arab sects and Jews. (notably the Jews had already bought up a majority of the land that is now Israel through private deals with Arabs before the creation of the state. Look it up...)
Then it was all about 1967 lines, and then Israel should exit out of Gaza, and now it's settlements. There's always a reason for not having peace, when peace and an independent state can be had in a relatively short amount of time if that's what you actually want. Hamas and Hezbollah are playing a waiting game for Iran to get to the point of making a Nuke so that they have more leverage...
