AFC, I will dispute some of that comment. Jews have lived in Israel for thousands of years and are the indigenous people there, at least that is what they believe. They did not create Israel to kick out Palestinians either, the nation was built as a nation to offer a safe space for Jews, but welcoming to other people, including those already there (now called Palestinians).
Crap hit the fan when Israel was invaded after the UN partition and here we are. I would say that invading Israel did not work out well for Palestinians, but Egypt and Jordan have made peace with Israel since. Palestinians have instead brought terror attack after terror attack.
It isn't exactly fair to say Israel stole the country, that is not true.
