Your simplistic apporach and rationalization on behalf of the Palestinians is beautiful to see. Yet I can`t understand how any of that has to do with a Palestinian society that has put itself in this position while turning Israel into the Bad Guy. The `occupation`, as you put it, is there for one reason only- there were 5 wars in which Israel was attacked, after which they had to control certain areas to protect themselves from future attack. There was never any willingness on the Palestinian side to make a final peace agreement, a condition that comes along with Israel leaving any occupied land. They did not want peace. Nor did they want Palestine, because that didn`t exist either. As stated in the charters of both Hamas and PLO, their goal is to take over all of Israel.
