You can’t just pick an arbitrary point in time to start the argument, so it’s pointless. Israel was formed and whether certain people were wronged in the process sucks, but such is life and it was almost 80 years ago.
Like I said, at some point the Palestinian leadership (true leaders who value the lives and interests of their people), need to say enough is enough, realize they are not going to get exactly what they want, and negotiate from a position of weakness. It’s not ideal, and unfortunately most Palestinians born in Gaza lost the lottery of where they were born (like many in or 3rd world countries), but they need to have the self awareness to end this cycle of decades long violence and say enough is enough. Again, I’m not discounting Israel’s own policies and they’re not innocent either, but it irks me when Israel gets all the blame and there’s no inward ability by Palestinians to assess why their own misery continues through this cycle of war.

Your attitude around an explanation for why people might not be too happy about it is telling. "Oh please". If you are wondering why they keep attacking, well "such is life," I guess? That's all pretty pathetic on your part. Recognizing past wrongs is key to reconciliation, so if your attitude is "get over it," well don't be surprised if some do not. This should be pretty obvious.
