Israel accepted the partition plan of '47.

why did the grand mufti of jerusalem (friend of hitler's) call for israel's destruction? Could be he has a thing about Jews?

why did the british empire promise the same land to two peoples?
Bad crumpets?

why did palestinian terror organizations start killing jewish pilgrims in the early 20th century? They talked with the mufti?

why did jewish terror organizations start killing palestinians in the early 20th century? They also talked with the mufti?

why were jewish settlers ethnically cleansing the arab palestinians?
The only ethnically cleansed are in the Middle east is the Gaza Strip - NO Jews allowed.

why did the damascus and riyadh landowners sell the land that palestinian arabs were living on?

Good money?

why did the first zionist conference of 1897 call for palestine to be colonized and the arabs to be scattered?
Source?

how far back do you want to go?
Arafat said he could trace his liniage back to the jesubites, thogh only he knew how.

if the palestinians were able to defend their homes a century ago this would all have settled out. With the Jews being asked "How long can you tread water?" (classic Bill Cosby)

they were sold out and the zionists kept pushing, kept pushing, kept pushing and no one cared. Of course they never pushed back.

there has to be peace sometime, and as long as one party has supreme military license to massacre at will, there will not be. Once the kidnappings stop and kassams stop flying.

hezbollah would not exist, PERIOD, were it not for israeli and syrian predation. Yet it does, so let's deal with the here and now.

too late now, i know that.

but this war was clearly a provocation, many israeli sources even now report that the 'hostages' taken were in lebanese terrirtory. Which sources, please?

this conflict did not harm hezbollah's support from within lebanon. Likely made them more popular.

if israeli planes were unable to at will destroy infrastructure and kill citizens maliciously, like when they'd warn citizens to scatter and then target their vehicles including ambulances, then at this stage there could be some form of detente.
