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.

The Torah's license to grant land ownership is questionable at best.
Anyways, thats not the point here.
